//! Median Body Size — rolling median of bar body sizes.

/// Median Body Size — rolling median of `|close - open|` over `period` bars.
///
/// A robust measure of typical bar body magnitude that is resistant to outliers:
/// - **High**: bars are typically large-bodied — strong directional moves.
/// - **Low**: bars are typically small-bodied — doji-like or indecisive price action.
///
/// Unlike mean body size, the median is not distorted by occasional extreme bars
/// (e.g., earnings gaps or stop-hunts).
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period` bars have been accumulated.
///
/// # Errors
/// Returns [`FinError::InvalidPeriod`] if `period == 0`.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::MedianBodySize;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let mbs = MedianBodySize::new("mbs_14", 14).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(mbs.period(), 14);
/// ```
