kingchenc 3ea0f12b7a feat: Family 04 Volatility — RVI / Parkinson / Garman-Klass / Rogers-Satchell / Yang-Zhang (#42)
* feat(rvi): add Relative Volatility Index

Donald Dorsey's RSI-shaped volatility gauge. Partitions the rolling
population standard deviation of close into "up" samples (close rose
since the previous bar) and "down" samples (close fell), Wilder-smooths
each side, and reports 100 * AvgUp / (AvgUp + AvgDown). Output bounded
on [0, 100]; saturates at 100 in pure uptrends, 0 in pure downtrends,
and falls back to 50 on a completely flat series (same undefined-RS
convention as RSI).

Single period parameter (default 10) drives both the stddev window and
the Wilder smoothing constant. First emit lands at index 2*period - 2
(2*period - 1 bars are needed: period to fill the stddev window plus
period - 1 to seed the Wilder averages, overlapping by one bar).

* feat(parkinson): add Parkinson Volatility

Michael Parkinson's (1980) high-low realised volatility estimator.
Under a driftless Geometric-Brownian-Motion assumption, the extreme
range of a bar carries roughly 5x the variance information of the
close-to-close estimator, so for a given statistical efficiency
Parkinson needs five times fewer samples.

Formula:
    sigma^2 = (1 / (4n * ln 2)) * Sum_{i=1..n} (ln(H_i / L_i))^2
    out     = sqrt(sigma^2) * sqrt(trading_periods) * 100

The output is annualised to a percent in the same style as
HistoricalVolatility (pass `trading_periods = 1` for the raw per-bar
sigma * 100 figure). Two parameters: `period` (default 20) for the
rolling window, `trading_periods` (default 252) for the annualisation
factor. First emit at index `period - 1`.

* feat(garman-klass): add Garman-Klass Volatility

Garman & Klass (1980) OHLC realised-volatility estimator. Extends
Parkinson's high-low estimator with an open-to-close term, lifting
statistical efficiency from ~5x to ~7.4x relative to close-to-close
stddev under driftless Geometric Brownian Motion.

Formula (per bar):
    s_t  = 0.5 * (ln(H_t / L_t))^2 - (2*ln(2) - 1) * (ln(C_t / O_t))^2
    out  = sqrt(max(mean(s_t over `period`), 0)) * sqrt(trading_periods) * 100

The per-bar sample can be marginally negative when the bar has a small
range relative to its open-to-close move; a max(., 0) clamp on the
rolling mean absorbs that and the FP cancellation noise before the
square root.

Still biased on data with meaningful overnight drift -- use Yang-Zhang
when gaps matter. Defaults: `period = 20`, `trading_periods = 252`
(annualised percent, same convention as HistoricalVolatility).

* feat(rogers-satchell): add Rogers-Satchell Volatility

Rogers, Satchell & Yoon (1994) OHLC realised-volatility estimator.
Unlike Garman-Klass, the per-bar sample is exact under arbitrary
Brownian drift -- the drift component cancels algebraically.

Formula (per bar):
    s_t  = ln(H_t / C_t) * ln(H_t / O_t) + ln(L_t / C_t) * ln(L_t / O_t)
    out  = sqrt(max(mean(s_t over `period`), 0)) * sqrt(trading_periods) * 100

Each per-bar sample is also non-negative by construction: with
`Candle::new` guaranteeing H >= max(O, L, C) and L <= min(O, H, C), the
four log factors have predictable signs (ln(H/.) >= 0, ln(L/.) <= 0),
so both products contribute >= 0. The max(., 0) clamp on the rolling
mean is only there to absorb FP cancellation.

Defaults: `period = 20`, `trading_periods = 252` (annualised percent,
same convention as HistoricalVolatility / Parkinson / Garman-Klass).

* feat(yang-zhang): add Yang-Zhang Volatility

Yang & Zhang (2000) drift- and gap-robust OHLC realised-volatility
estimator. Combines three independent components into a single estimate
with minimum variance:

    overnight    = sample_var(ln(O_t / C_{t-1}))   over n bars  (close-to-open)
    open_close   = sample_var(ln(C_t / O_t))       over n bars
    rs           = mean(ln(H/C)*ln(H/O) + ln(L/C)*ln(L/O)) over n bars
    sigma^2_YZ   = overnight + k*open_close + (1-k)*rs
    k            = 0.34 / (1.34 + (n+1)/(n-1))
    out          = sqrt(max(sigma^2_YZ, 0)) * sqrt(trading_periods) * 100

The overnight and open-to-close variances use Bessel's correction (the
sample estimator, divisor n-1), same convention as
HistoricalVolatility. The blending factor `k` is the one that
minimises estimator variance under driftless Geometric Brownian Motion
with overnight gaps.

This is the gold-standard OHLC estimator for assets with both
close-to-open gaps and intraday drift: equities, futures, and any
market that does not trade continuously. For pure intraday data (where
O_t == C_{t-1} and the open-to-close return is constant), the
overnight and open-close terms vanish and the estimator collapses to
(1-k) * Rogers-Satchell -- this is the indicator's
intraday_data_collapses_to_rs_only unit test.

Period >= 2 (Bessel correction needs >= 2 samples). First emit at
index `period` (the (period+1)-th bar): one bar seeds prev_close, the
next `period` fill the rolling windows. Defaults: `period = 20`,
`trading_periods = 252`.

* fix(rvi): rename to RviVolatility to avoid clash with family-02 RVI

Family 02 (PR #40) ships a separate `Rvi` struct for Relative Vigor
Index. The two indicators have nothing to do with each other beyond
sharing the acronym, so disambiguate by giving the volatility one a
longer name everywhere:

- Rust crate: `Rvi`        -> `RviVolatility`
- Rust file:  `rvi.rs`     -> `rvi_volatility.rs`
- Python:     `RVI`        -> `RVIVolatility`
- Node:       `RVI`        -> `RVIVolatility`
- WASM:       `RVI`        -> `RVIVolatility`

Once the two PRs are both merged, callers get `wickra::Rvi` for Vigor
and `wickra::RviVolatility` for Volatility. The shorter `RVI` acronym
stays with the Momentum family per the existing wiki pages and the
implementation that shipped first.

Updates: rvi_volatility.rs (renamed), mod.rs, lib.rs re-export,

+ index.d.ts + index.js + __tests__, bindings/wasm/src/lib.rs,

README family-table label, CHANGELOG entry.

* test(volatility): Rename test_rvi -> test_rvi_volatility + drop dead match arms

The Python test test_rvi_pure_uptrend_saturates_at_one_hundred was
calling ta.RVI() expecting the volatility version, but ta.RVI now
means Family 02's Relative Vigor Index (candle input). Renamed to
ta.RVIVolatility to match the binding rename done at merge time.

In all four OHLC volatility tests, the existing `match (r, a) { ...,
_ => panic!() }` arm is dead in passing runs (every aligned pair is
either (None, None) or (Some, Some)). Codecov flagged it as a patch
miss on each of parkinson / garman_klass / rogers_satchell /
yang_zhang. Refactored per CLAUDE.md cold-path guidance to
`assert_eq!(r.is_some(), a.is_some()); if let (Some, Some) ...`.
