#' @title Recursive density update at a single grid point
#' @description Evaluate the stage-`k` recursive density \eqn{f_k(x)} at a single grid location.
#' @details
#' For `k=1`, the density is standard normal. For `k>1`, the density at stage `k` is obtained by
#' integrating the previous-stage density over the continuation region, multiplied by the conditional
#' normal density for the increment from information fraction \eqn{t_{k-1}} to \eqn{t_k}. The
#' implementation uses a discrete grid (`x2`) and the previously computed, quadrature-weighted density
#' values (`dn2`).

#' @param k Stage index (1-based).
#' @param informationRates Information rates / fractions per stage (monotone increasing, length kMax).

#' @title Recursive density update on a grid
#' @description Vectorized version of `getDensityValue()` for all grid points of a stage.

#' @details

#' @details
#' The decision regions are encoded in `decisionMatrix` (critical values and optional futility bounds).
#' The density values `dn` are already multiplied by quadrature weights (`w * f_k(x)`), so this
