   * as a script tag in the browser. Instead, the browser fetches the config
   * via JSON (/config endpoint), which strips all function properties.
   * This node_helper restores those functions by reading the original
   * config.js file server-side (respecting MM_CONFIG_FILE) and sending
   * the function source code to the frontend for reconstruction.
   *
   * Also extracts the variable preamble so that closure variables
   * (e.g., myVariable in eventTransformer) are available to the functions.
