#' Lowpass filtering of time series data
#'
#' The intended use of this method is for smoothing, although by specifying
#' `wp` and `ws` differently one can achieve highpass or bandpass filtering
#' as well. However, only lowpass filtering should be done on pupillometry data.
#'
#' @note
#' This function is part of the `glassbox()` preprocessing pipeline and is not
#' intended for direct use in most cases. Provide parameters via
#' `lpfilt = list(...)`.
#'
#' Advanced users may call it directly if needed.
#'
#' @details
#' This function is automatically called by `glassbox()` by default. If needed,
#' customize the parameters for `lpfilt` by providing a parameter list. Use
#' `glassbox(lpfilt = FALSE)` to disable this step as needed.
#'
#' Users should prefer using `glassbox()` rather than invoking this function
#' directly unless they have a specific reason to customize the pipeline
#' manually.
#'
#' @param eyeris An object of class `eyeris` derived from [eyeris::load_asc()]
#' @param wp The end of passband frequency in Hz (desired lowpass cutoff).
#' Defaults to `4`
#' @param ws The start of stopband frequency in Hz (required lowpass cutoff).
#' Defaults to `8`
#' @param rp Required maximal ripple within passband in dB. Defaults to `1`
#' @param rs Required minimal attenuation within stopband in dB.
#' Defaults to `35`
#' @param plot_freqz A flag to indicate whether to display the filter frequency
#' response. Defaults to `FALSE`
#' @param call_info A list of call information and parameters. If not provided,
#' it will be generated from the function call. Defaults to `NULL`
#'
#' @return An `eyeris` object with a new column in `timeseries`:
#' `pupil_raw_{...}_lpfilt`
#'
#' @seealso [eyeris::glassbox()] for the recommended way to run this step as
#' part of the full eyeris glassbox preprocessing pipeline
