Type: Workshop
Summary: In this workshop, you will analyze nested arrays of sensor bursts to detect spikes, silent gaps, and rolling statistics.

User Stories

1. You should accept input shaped like [[10, 12, 15], [0, 0, 0], [18, 22]], where each nested array is a burst for a single sensor loop.
2. You should create analyzeBurst(burst, windowSize) that returns averages, mins, and maxes using sliding windows.
3. You should create detectSpikes(burst, threshold) that uses some/every to flag bursts exceeding thresholds.
4. You should create detectSilence(burst, windowSize) that returns true if a full window contains zero readings.
5. You should create summarizeSensorData(bursts) that maps through all bursts, aggregates stats, and returns an array of summary objects.
6. You should ensure helper functions never mutate the original burst arrays.

Technical Notes

• Include sample fixtures with inconsistent burst lengths and tests for edge cases.
