/// Realized Bipower Variation — the sum of *adjacent* absolute log-return
/// products over the trailing `period` returns, scaled to estimate integrated

///
/// ```text
/// r_t = ln(price_t / price_{t−1})
/// BV = (π / 2) · Σ |r_t| · |r_{t−1}| over the window
/// ```
///
/// Bipower variation (Barndorff-Nielsen & Shephard 2004) estimates the same
/// integrated variance as [`RealizedVolatility`](crate::RealizedVolatility)'s
/// `Σ r²`, but by multiplying *neighbouring* absolute returns rather than
/// squaring a single one. A price jump inflates exactly one return; because that
/// return appears in a product with its (ordinary) neighbour rather than squared,
/// its contribution stays bounded — so `BV` is **robust to jumps** while realized
/// variance is not. The constant `π / 2 = μ₁⁻²` (with `μ₁ = E|Z| = √(2/π)` for a
/// standard normal) debiases the product of two half-normal magnitudes back to a
/// variance scale.
///
/// The output is on the **variance** scale (the jump-robust counterpart of
/// realized *variance*, not volatility); take its square root for a volatility,
/// and compare `RV − BV` to isolate the jump contribution. A window of `period`
/// returns contributes `period − 1` adjacent products; each `update` is O(1) via
/// a running sum.
///
/// 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::{BipowerVariation, Indicator};
///
/// let mut indicator = BipowerVariation::new(20).unwrap();
/// let mut last = None;
/// for i in 0..80 {
