/// Volatility Skew — asymmetry between upside and downside volatility.
///
/// ```text
/// up_changes   = {|close_t − close_{t−1}| : close_t > close_{t−1}}
/// down_changes = {|close_t − close_{t−1}| : close_t < close_{t−1}}
///
/// up_vol   = mean(up_changes)    or 0 if no up bars
/// down_vol = mean(down_changes)  or 0 if no down bars
///
/// output = (up_vol − down_vol) / (up_vol + down_vol) × 100
/// ```
///
/// Positive output indicates larger upside moves (positive skew / upward momentum).
/// Negative indicates larger downside moves (negative skew / downward momentum).
/// Returns 0 when both up_vol and down_vol are zero (flat/no changes).
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period + 1` bars have been seen.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::VolatilitySkew;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
///
/// let vs = VolatilitySkew::new("vs", 20).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(vs.period(), 20);
/// ```
