+    Generates a view-like sparse array using a sliding window of specified length along a specified axis.
+    Sparse analog of an optimized dense as_strided-based implementation with these properties:
+
+    - Accepts a single `nwin` and a single `axis`.
+    - Inserts a new 'win' axis immediately BEFORE the original target axis.
+      Output shape:
+        s.shape[:axis] + (W,) + (nwin,) + s.shape[axis+1:]
+      where W = s.shape[axis] - (nwin - 1).
+    - If `step > 1`, stepping is applied by slicing along the new windows axis (same observable behavior
+      as doing `slice_along_axis(result, slice(None, None, step), axis)` in the dense version).
+
+    Args:
+        s: Input sparse array (pydata/sparse COO-compatible).
+        nwin: Sliding window size (must be > 0).
+        axis: Axis of `s` along which the window slides (supports negative indexing).
+        step: Stride between windows. If > 1, applied by slicing the windows axis after construction.
+
+    Returns:
+        A sparse array with a new windows axis inserted before the original axis.
+
+    Notes:
+        - Mirrors the dense function’s known edge case: when nwin == shape[axis] + 1, W becomes 0 and
+          an empty windows axis is returned.
+        - Built by coordinate arithmetic; no per-window indexing or concatenation.
