/// Rolling historical Value-at-Risk.
///
/// Input is treated as a period return. Over the trailing window of `period`
/// returns the indicator reports the empirical lower-tail quantile at the
/// given `confidence` level (e.g. `0.95` = the 95 %-confident worst-case
/// loss). The output is the **magnitude** of that loss, sign-flipped to be a
/// non-negative number (so a 5 % `VaR` is reported as `0.05`, not `-0.05`):
///
/// ```text
/// q = (1 − confidence)
/// VaR_t = − percentile(returns over window, q · 100) if it is negative
/// VaR_t = 0 otherwise
/// ```
///
/// `percentile` uses linear interpolation between the two closest order
/// statistics ("type 7" in R / `NumPy` default). If the q-quantile of the
/// window is itself non-negative (a window where every return was at or above
/// zero) the indicator returns `0.0` — there is no loss to report.
///
/// Each `update` is O(period · log period) due to the window-sort. Good
/// enough for the typical `period ≤ 252` rolling-VaR workflow.
///
