//! Wyckoff accumulation/distribution state machine: range-lock detection, Phases A-E, Spring/UTAD,
//! SOS/SOW/LPS/LPSY events, sequence validation, and Cause/Quality scoring.
//!
//! This is a codified heuristic interpretation of the textbook Wyckoff method (range-lock via ATR-
//! relative contraction, climax via robust volume outlier, Spring/UTAD via pierce-and-reclaim —
//! structurally the same pattern as [`super::smart_money_structure::LiquidityPoolEngine`]'s stop-
//! hunt classification), not a claim of canonical/definitive Wyckoff analysis: real chart reading
//! involves judgment this state machine approximates with fixed, documented, testable rules.
