//! Procedural signal generators — Fourier reconstruction and polynomial regression
//! primitives that let downstream crates store *the function that produces the
//! signal* instead of the raw samples.
//!
//! This is the "Send laws, not data" principle applied to time-series and
//! numerical arrays: instead of persisting `n` samples verbatim, fit a compact
//! set of coefficients (polynomial or Fourier) that regenerates them.
//!
//! # API
//!
//! - [`fit_polynomial`] — least-squares polynomial regression, tries degrees
//!   ascending until the relative error falls below the caller-supplied
//!   threshold. Returns `(coefficients, degree, error)` when a fit is found.
//! - [`generate_polynomial`] — Horner-form evaluator for a polynomial with
//!   `coefficients[0] + coefficients[1] * x + coefficients[2] * x^2 + …` at
//!   the integer indices `x = 0, 1, …, n-1`.
//! - [`analyze_signal`] — naive DFT that returns the top-`k` frequency bins
//!   (by magnitude, with an energy threshold) as `(freq_idx, magnitude,
//!   phase)` plus the DC offset.
//! - [`generate_from_coefficients`] — inverse partial-sum reconstruction from
//!   the [`analyze_signal`] output.
//! - [`generate_sine_wave`] — single-tone helper for the common case of a
//!   pure sinusoid + DC offset.
//!
//! Implementations are dependency-free (naive DFT and Gaussian elimination
//! over `f64`). For typical compression payloads (a few hundred samples the
//! naive `O(n²)` DFT is adequate; large arrays should call a specialised FFT
//! crate directly and feed its coefficients into
//! [`generate_from_coefficients`].
