/// Volume-Weighted Volatility — standard deviation of close-to-close returns,
/// where each return is weighted by its bar's volume relative to the total volume
/// in the window.
///
/// ```text
/// ret[i]    = (close[i] - close[i-1]) / close[i-1]
/// w[i]      = volume[i] / sum(volume, window)
/// mean_w    = sum(w[i] × ret[i])
/// vwvol     = sqrt(sum(w[i] × (ret[i] - mean_w)^2))
/// ```
///
/// Higher-volume bars receive more weight, so the measure is dominated by periods
/// of elevated participation. Useful for detecting whether volatility is driven by
/// high-conviction moves (high volume) or low-liquidity noise.
///
/// Returns [`SignalValue::Unavailable`] until `period` returns are collected
/// (requires `period + 1` closes), or when total volume in the window is zero.
///
/// # Errors
/// Returns [`FinError::InvalidPeriod`] if `period < 2`.
///
/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use fin_primitives::signals::indicators::VolumeWeightedVolatility;
/// use fin_primitives::signals::Signal;
/// let vwv = VolumeWeightedVolatility::new("vwv_20", 20).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(vwv.period(), 20);
/// ```
