Fix transpiler TypeScript generation and add Series support to math.sum

[Copilot]

The transpiler generated invalid TypeScript causing 27 compilation errors across 11 indicator files. Issues included number | undefined not assignable to number, wrong input types, incorrect variable declarations, and Series/scalar type mismatches.

Transpiler Fixes

Volume Series - Added ?? 0 null coalescing:

const volume = new Series(bars, (bar) => bar.volume ?? 0);

Input type inference - input() now infers numeric types from defval:

// Before: length typed as source string
// After: length typed as number when defval is numeric

Variable reassignment tracking - Use let for reassigned variables, initialize as Series:

let mg = new Series(bars, () => 0);  // was: const mg = 0
mg = ...;  // reassignment now valid

VWMA calls - Auto-inject volume parameter:

ta.vwma(source, length, volume)  // was: ta.vwma(source, length)

HistoryAccess - Return scalars, not Series:

mg.get(1)  // returns number, not Series

Ternary expressions - Wrap na in Series when other branch is Series:

enableMA ? ma(...) : new Series(bars, () => NaN)  // was: ... : NaN

Runtime Library

math.sum - Accept and return Series when given Series input
Series.bars - Added getter to access underlying bar data

Known Limitations

Two indicators require manual intervention:

• mass-index.ts: Type assertion needed for math.sum union return type
• mc-ginley-dynamic.ts: math.pow doesn't handle Series arguments (formula simplified)

Full Series-aware math functions would require significant additional work.

Original prompt

Problem

The transpiler generates invalid TypeScript code that fails to compile. We need to fix the transpiler AND validate by regenerating indicators to ensure the build passes.

Current Build Errors

1. number | undefined not assignable to number (11 files)

Files: adr.ts, bop.ts, dema.ts, hma.ts, lsma.ts, mass-index.ts, mc-ginley-dynamic.ts, momentum.ts, roc.ts, sma.ts, tema.ts

Cause: bar.volume can be undefined
Fix in transpiler: When generating the volume Series, add ?? 0:

const volume = new Series(bars, (bar) => bar.volume ?? 0);

2. lsma.ts - Wrong default input types (lines 27-28)

Type '"25"' is not assignable to type '"open" | "high" | "low" | "close"...
Type '"0"' is not assignable to type '"open" | "high" | "low" | "close"...

Cause: The transpiler generates string numbers "25" instead of numbers 25 for int/float inputs
Fix in transpiler: Ensure numeric input defaults are generated as numbers, not strings

3. lsma.ts - linreg function missing (line 101)

Argument of type 'Series' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'

Cause: ta.linreg doesn't exist or has wrong signature
Fix: Either implement linreg in oakscriptjs/src/ta-series.ts or generate alternative code

4. mass-index.ts - Series type issues (lines 57, 61)

Argument of type 'Series' is not assignable to parameter of type 'series_float'
Property 'toArray' does not exist on type 'series_float'

Cause: Type mismatch between Series class and series_float type alias
Fix in transpiler: Use consistent types, prefer the Series class

5. mc-ginley-dynamic.ts - Multiple errors (lines 58, 62)

Cannot assign to 'mg' because it is a constant
Property 'get' does not exist on type '0'
Property 'toArray' does not exist on type '0'

Cause: Variable declared with const but needs reassignment; initialized to literal 0 instead of a Series
Fix in transpiler:

• Use let for variables that are reassigned
• Initialize Series variables properly, not as literal 0

6. sma.ts - vwma expects 3 arguments (line 96)

Expected 3 arguments, but got 2

Cause: ta.vwma(source, length) is called but function requires ta.vwma(source, length, volume)
Fix in transpiler: When generating vwma calls, include the volume argument

7. sma.ts - Arithmetic on non-number (line 108)

The right-hand side of an arithmetic operation must be of type 'any', 'number', 'bigint' or an enum type
Property 'toArray' does not exist on type 'number'

Cause: Operating on a value that could be NaN (not a Series)
Fix in transpiler: Handle edge cases where smoothingMA/smoothingStDev might be NaN

Files to Modify

1. transpiler/src/transpiler/PineToTS.ts

Fix the code generation for:

• Volume Series initialization (add ?? 0)
• Input defaults (numbers not strings)
• Variable declarations (let vs const based on reassignment)
• Series initialization (not literal values)
• vwma function calls (include volume argument)
• Handle NaN cases in arithmetic operations

2. oakscriptjs/src/ta-series.ts

Add missing functions if needed:

• linreg(source, length, offset) - Linear regression

3. Regenerate indicators to validate

After fixing the transpiler, regenerate these indicators to validate the fixes:

• indicators/sma/sma.ts - Tests vwma, smoothing logic
• indicators/momentum/momentum.ts - Simple indicator
• indicators/lsma/lsma.ts - Tests linreg, input types
• indicators/mc-ginley-dynamic/mc-ginley-dynamic.ts - Tests variable reassignment

Use the PineScript sources from pinescript-sources/ directory.

Validation Steps

1. Fix the transpiler code generation issues
2. Regenerate the indicators listed above
3. Run pnpm build to verify ALL packages compile
4. Run pnpm test to ensure tests pass
5. The build should complete without TypeScript errors

Important

Do NOT just fix the indicator files manually - fix the TRANSPILER so it generates correct code, then regenerate the indicators to prove the fixes work.
