const MAX_RETRACE_FRACTION: f64 = 0.5;

/// Flag / Pennant — a brief consolidation against a sharp prior move (the
/// "pole"), resolving in the pole's direction.
///
/// Built on confirmed swing pivots ([`SWING_THRESHOLD`] = 5%); evaluated from the
/// last three pivots `pole_start → pole_end → consolidation`:
///
/// ```text
/// pole      = |pole_end − pole_start|     (the sharp impulse)
/// pullback  = |consolidation − pole_end|  (the shallow counter-move)
/// qualifies when pullback < 0.5 · pole
/// bull flag : pole_end is a swing high → +1 (up-pole, continuation up)
/// bear flag : pole_end is a swing low  → -1 (down-pole, continuation down)
/// ```
///
/// The detector fires on the bar that confirms the consolidation pivot (the flag
/// is complete; the breakout is expected to follow). Output is `+1.0` / `-1.0` /
/// `0.0`; never `None`.
