Research direction
Start by reading capa/features/extractors/binja/insn.py around line 327 and trace the current stack-cookie detection path. Then investigate how LLIR SSA is exposed to this extractor. Done means the binja extractor uses LLIR SSA to improve stack-cookie detection, with the affected behavior verified against the project's relevant checks.
