/// Shannon Entropy — the Shannon information entropy (in **bits**) of the
/// distribution of values in a rolling window, after binning them into a fixed
/// number of equal-width buckets.
///
/// ```text
/// bucket each of the last `period` values into `bins` equal-width bins over
///   [min, max] of the window
/// p_i = count_i / period
/// H   = − Σ p_i · log2(p_i)            (over non-empty bins)
/// ```
///
/// Entropy measures how *spread out* and unpredictable the recent values are. A
/// window concentrated in one bin (a flat or tightly-ranging market) has low
/// entropy near `0`; a window whose values are spread evenly across all bins (a
/// noisy, directionless market) approaches the maximum `log2(bins)`. Traders use
/// it as a **regime filter**: low entropy favours trend/breakout strategies, high
/// entropy favours mean-reversion or standing aside.
///
/// The output lies in `[0, log2(bins)]`. A degenerate window where every value is
/// identical (`max == min`) returns `0`. The first value lands after `period`
/// inputs; each `update` rebins the window in O(`period`).
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Indicator, ShannonEntropy};
///
/// let mut indicator = ShannonEntropy::new(32, 8).unwrap();
/// let mut last = None;
/// for i in 0..64 {
///     last = indicator.update((f64::from(i) * 0.7).sin() * 10.0);
/// }
/// assert!(last.is_some());
