initVar issue?

[dcaoyuan]

Test case:

//@version=6
indicator("initVar issue", overlay=true)

var ph_time = time[15]
log.info("{0}", ph_time)

ph_time will be NaN instead of time of bar at previous 15.

It seems some logic wrong at:

PineTS/src/Context.class.ts

Lines 543 to 549 in ad26f8d

	initVar(trg, src: any): Series {
	// If target exists (subsequent bars), return it as is.
	// PineTS automatically shifts context variables by copying the last value,
	// so the previous value is already carried over to the current slot.
	if (trg) {
	return trg;
	}

Where, value will be assigned the first time only, won't be assigned again afterward since trg already inited.

This issue is related to #156.

When time[15] is treated as context variable, it will be automatically shifted by copying the last value, the issue isn't an issue then.

Ok, maybe var ph_time = time[15] is not a valid expression, since:

//@version=6
indicator("initVar issue", overlay=true)

var ph_close = close[15]
log.info("{0}", ph_close)

ph_close is also NaN.

The correct declaration syntax for this case should remove var prefix, as:

//@version=6
indicator("initVar issue", overlay=true)

ph_close = close[15]
log.info("{0}", ph_close)

Everything seems OK now.

Would you please check and compare above syntax in TradingView?
