/// Linear Regression Slope — slope of the OLS line through the last `period` closes.
///
/// Fits `close = a + b * t` over the last `period` bars using least-squares,
/// and returns the slope `b` (price change per bar):
/// - **Positive**: prices trending upward.
/// - **Negative**: prices trending downward.
/// - **Near zero**: prices moving sideways.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period` bars have been seen,
/// or when the slope cannot be computed (zero variance in time).
///
/// # Errors
/// Returns [`FinError::InvalidPeriod`] if `period < 2`.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::LinearRegressionSlope;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let lrs = LinearRegressionSlope::new("lrs_14", 14).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(lrs.period(), 14);
/// ```
