/// Linear Regression Slope — the slope of a rolling least-squares fit.
///
/// Over the last `period` inputs, indexed `x = 0, 1, …, period − 1`, it fits
/// the line `y = a + b·x` by ordinary least squares and reports the slope:
///
/// ```text
/// b = (n·Σxy − Σx·Σy) / (n·Σxx − (Σx)²)
/// ```
///
/// This is TA-Lib's `LINEARREG_SLOPE`: a momentum-like reading of how steeply
/// price is trending over the window — positive while it rises, negative
/// while it falls, near zero when it is flat — without the band-pass quirks
/// of a difference-based oscillator.
///
/// Each `update` is O(1): the same incremental OLS state as
/// [`LinearRegression`](crate::LinearRegression) is maintained — `Σx` and
/// `Σxx` are precomputed once from `period`, while `Σy` and `Σxy` are slid
/// forward in closed form on every push.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Indicator, LinRegSlope};
///
/// let mut indicator = LinRegSlope::new(14).unwrap();
/// let mut last = None;
/// for i in 0..80 {
///     last = indicator.update(f64::from(i));
/// }
/// assert!(last.is_some());
