/// Market Structure (Swings + Confirmed Break of Structure)
///
/// Port of the core adaptive swing + bias/flip state machine from MQL5
/// "Price Action Analysis Toolkit Development (Part 21): Market Structure Flip Detector"
/// by lynnchris (https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/17891).
///
/// Source persisted: references/MQL5/lynnchris/implemented/Part21/Flip_Detector.mq5
///
/// Key concepts (direct from source + bead spec):
/// - Swing detection with depth (bars) derived from ATR * multiplier (Part 21 uses
///   depth = max(1, (atr / point) * mult * loosen_factor)). We expose `swing_strength`
///   as fixed bar count for v0.1 (parity with BillWilliamsFractals); full ATR-adaptive
///   depth is the documented improvement path (see IsSwingHigh/IsSwingLow in source lines ~150).
/// - Bias tracking via consecutive higher-highs / higher-lows (bullish) or lower-lows /
///   lower-highs (bearish).
/// - Confirmed Break of Structure (BOS) flips (LH after bullish bias, HL after bearish bias)
///   only emitted after bias is established (prevents noise flips). Matches "confirmed after bias" rule.
/// - Rich struct output designed for backtester (quantwave-gwx), rich PA events (bmkn),
///   confluence (8aht), and geometric patterns (ej8b).
///
/// Improvements over raw MQL5 port for QuantWave:
/// - Streaming-first (Next) + batch parity via replay (no full-history rescan).
/// - No chart objects; rich structs + events primary (Part 70 lesson).
/// - Composable: later generalized SwingAnalyzer can feed H&S/Flags (bfg + r46a).
/// - Property invariants + synthetic generators (see tests).
///
/// Cross-refs: fractals.rs (fixed 5-bar local ext), rodc.rs (zigzag noise), pivot_points.rs.
