Add SSF-DSP implementation with validation tests and documentation

- Implemented the SSF-DSP (Super Smooth Filter Detrended Synthetic Price) indicator using dual Super Smooth Filters.
- Added validation tests to ensure correctness against PineScript implementation and mathematical properties.
- Created comprehensive documentation outlining the architecture, mathematical foundation, performance profile, and common pitfalls.
- Included batch processing capabilities for efficient calculations on time series data.

+# LUNAR: Lunar Phase Indicator
+
+> "The Moon moves markets—or at least it moves traders who believe the Moon moves markets."
+
+The Lunar Phase indicator calculates the Moon's illumination phase using orbital mechanics, outputting values from 0.0 (new moon) through 0.5 (quarters) to 1.0 (full moon). This implementation uses the Meeus astronomical algorithms with perturbation corrections for accuracy within arcminutes across centuries.
+
+## Historical Context
+
+Lunar cycle trading dates to ancient civilizations who observed correlations between lunar phases and agricultural markets. Modern quantitative finance occasionally revisits this theme—some studies suggest slight behavioral effects around full moons (heightened risk-taking) and new moons (conservatism), though effect sizes remain small and contested.
+
+The algorithm here derives from Jean Meeus' *Astronomical Algorithms* (1991), which provides high-precision orbital calculations suitable for ephemeris computation. The perturbation terms correct for gravitational interactions between the Moon, Sun, and Earth that cause the Moon's orbit to deviate from a simple ellipse.
+
+## Architecture & Physics
+
+### 1. Time Conversion
+
+The indicator converts input timestamps to Julian Date (JD), the continuous day count from 4713 BCE:
+
+$$
+JD = \frac{t_{unix}}{86400000} + 2440587.5
+$$
+
+Julian centuries from J2000 epoch (2000-01-01 12:00 TT):
+
+$$
+T = \frac{JD - 2451545.0}{36525.0}
+$$
+
+### 2. Orbital Elements
+
+Five fundamental arguments describe the Moon-Sun-Earth geometry:
+
+| Element | Symbol | Description |
+|:--------|:------:|:------------|
+| Mean longitude | $L_p$ | Moon's average position along ecliptic |
+| Mean elongation | $D$ | Angular separation Moon-Sun |
+| Sun's anomaly | $M$ | Sun's position relative to perigee |
+| Moon's anomaly | $M_p$ | Moon's position relative to perigee |
+| Argument of latitude | $F$ | Moon's position relative to ascending node |
+
+Each element follows a polynomial in $T$:
+
+$$
+L_p = 218.3164477 + 481267.88123421T - 0.0015786T^2 + \frac{T^3}{538841} - \frac{T^4}{65194000}
+$$
+
+### 3. Perturbation Corrections
+
+The Moon's longitude receives corrections for gravitational perturbations:
+
+$$
+\Delta L = 6288.016 \sin(M_p) + 1274.242 \sin(2D - M_p) + 658.314 \sin(2D) + \ldots
+$$
+
+These six principal terms account for:
+- Evection (largest perturbation from Sun)
+- Variation (Sun-induced elongation effects)
+- Annual equation (Earth's orbital eccentricity)
+- Parallactic inequality (Earth-Moon distance variation)
+
+### 4. Phase Calculation
+
+The phase angle is the ecliptic longitude difference:
+
+$$
+\phi = L_{moon} - L_{sun}
+$$
+
+Illumination fraction uses the cosine formula:
+
+$$
+phase = \frac{1 - \cos(\phi)}{2}
+$$
+
+This produces:
+- $phase = 0$ at new moon ($\phi = 0°$)
+- $phase = 0.5$ at quarters ($\phi = 90°, 270°$)
+- $phase = 1$ at full moon ($\phi = 180°$)
+

+Longitude correction (arcseconds):
+$$
+\Delta L = 6288.016 \sin(M_p) + 1274.242 \sin(2D - M_p) + 658.314 \sin(2D)
+$$
+$$
++ 214.818 \sin(2M_p) + 186.986 \sin(M) + 109.154 \sin(2F)

+
+True Moon longitude:
+$$
+L_{moon} = L_p + \frac{\Delta L}{1000000}

+## Performance Profile
+
+### Operation Count (Streaming Mode, Scalar)
+
+| Operation | Count | Cost (cycles) | Subtotal |
+|:----------|:-----:|:-------------:|:--------:|
+| FMA | 22 | 4 | 88 |
+| ADD/SUB | 8 | 1 | 8 |
+| MUL | 12 | 3 | 36 |
+| DIV | 8 | 15 | 120 |
+| MOD | 8 | 15 | 120 |
+| SIN | 7 | 50 | 350 |
+| COS | 1 | 50 | 50 |
+| **Total** | **66** | — | **~772 cycles** |
+
+Uses `Math.FusedMultiplyAdd()` for polynomial evaluations and perturbation summations. Trigonometric operations dominate at ~52% of total cost.
+
+### Batch Mode
+
+SIMD vectorization applies naturally to batch timestamp processing—each calculation is independent. With AVX-512 (8-wide double):
+
+| Operation | Scalar | SIMD (AVX-512) | Speedup |
+|:----------|:------:|:--------------:|:-------:|
+| Full calculation | 755 | ~110 | ~6.9× |
+
+### Quality Metrics
+
+| Metric | Score | Notes |
+|:-------|:-----:|:------|
+| **Accuracy** | 9/10 | Within arcminutes of JPL ephemeris |
+| **Determinism** | 10/10 | Pure function of timestamp |
+| **Timeliness** | N/A | No lag—not a filter |
+| **Stability** | 10/10 | No numerical drift |
+
+## Validation
+
+| Source | Status | Notes |
+|:-------|:------:|:------|
+| **USNO** | ✅ | Naval Observatory moon phase data |
+| **timeanddate.com** | ✅ | Cross-referenced known dates |
+| **JPL Horizons** | ✅ | Within expected tolerance |
+
+Known lunar events validated:
+- New Moon: January 29, 2025 12:36 UTC → phase < 0.05
+- Full Moon: February 12, 2025 13:53 UTC → phase > 0.95
+- Quarters: phase ≈ 0.5
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **Timezone confusion**: The indicator uses UTC timestamps internally. Local time inputs will produce offset results. Always pass UTC or use `DateTimeKind.Utc`.
+
+2. **Phase interpretation**: Phase 0.5 occurs at *both* first quarter (waxing) and last quarter (waning). To distinguish, compare current vs. previous phase values.
+
+3. **Computational cost**: At ~755 cycles per bar, the indicator is moderately expensive. For high-frequency analysis with millions of bars, consider pre-computing and caching results.
+
+4. **Century limits**: The polynomial coefficients are optimized for dates within a few centuries of J2000. For dates before 1800 or after 2200, accuracy degrades.
+
+5. **No warmup period**: Unlike filter-based indicators, Lunar has no warmup—each output depends only on its timestamp.
+
+6. **Trading interpretation**: Lunar phase correlations with market behavior are weak at best. Use as a curiosity or sentiment proxy, not as a primary signal.
