/// Triangle — a consolidation pattern bounded by two converging trendlines,
/// detected from the two most recent swing highs and lows.
///
/// Built on confirmed swing pivots (`SWING_THRESHOLD` = 5%); evaluated on every
/// bar that confirms a new pivot once four pivots exist:
///
/// ```text
/// ascending   : flat highs   + rising lows    → +1 (bullish bias)
/// descending  : falling highs + flat lows      → -1 (bearish bias)
/// symmetrical : falling highs + rising lows     → +1 if the last pivot is a low
///                                                 (an up-bounce), else -1
/// ```
///
/// "Flat" means the two highs (or lows) are within `LEVEL_TOLERANCE` (3%) of
/// each other; "rising"/"falling" means they differ by more than that tolerance.
/// The symmetrical case is directionally neutral, so its sign follows the
/// momentum of the most recently confirmed swing. Output is `+1.0` / `-1.0` /
/// `0.0`; never `None`.
