/// GARCH(1,1) conditional volatility — the square root of the
/// generalized-autoregressive-conditional-heteroskedasticity variance recursion.
///
/// ```text
/// r_t = ln(price_t / price_{t−1})
/// σ²_t = ω + α · r²_{t−1} + β · σ²_{t−1}
/// out = √σ²_t
/// ```
///
/// GARCH(1,1) (Bollerslev 1986) generalizes the
/// [`EwmaVolatility`](crate::EwmaVolatility) recursion by adding a constant `ω`,
/// which pins the process to a finite long-run (unconditional) variance
/// `ω / (1 − α − β)`. The `α` term gives weight to the latest squared return
/// (the "ARCH" shock) and `β` to the previous variance (the "GARCH"
/// persistence). When `ω = 0` and `α + β = 1` the model degenerates to EWMA; a
/// proper GARCH keeps `ω > 0` and `α + β < 1` so volatility mean-reverts rather
/// than drifting.
///
/// The recursion is seeded with the unconditional variance (`σ²₁ = ω / (1 − α −
/// β)`) and emits from the first log return onward. Unlike EWMA — which decays to
/// zero on a flat series — a flat series here mean-reverts toward `ω / (1 − β)`
/// (the `α`-term vanishes but the `ω` floor and the `β` carry remain), so the
/// output is always strictly positive. Each `update` is O(1).
///
/// Non-finite and non-positive prices are ignored (the log return would be
/// undefined): the tick is dropped, state is left untouched, and the last value
/// is returned.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Garch11, Indicator};
///
/// // Typical equity daily estimate.
/// let mut indicator = Garch11::new(0.000_002, 0.10, 0.88).unwrap();
/// let mut last = None;
/// for i in 0..80 {
/// last = indicator.update(100.0 + (f64::from(i) * 0.3).sin() * 5.0);
