Introduce two new functions, _optional_pandas_module and _optional_polars_module, to lazily import and cache the pandas and polars libraries. This change reduces overhead in hot paths by avoiding unnecessary imports when these libraries are not available. Update existing wrappers to utilize these functions for improved performance and cleaner error handling.
Prepare the first public 1.0.0 release and finish the remaining CI hardening work.
Highlights:
- align Python, Rust, WASM, Conda, API, MCP, and docs version metadata to 1.0.0
- promote package metadata to Production/Stable and update stability/versioning docs for the stable series
- move the accumulated Unreleased notes into a dated 1.0.0 changelog section and keep a fresh top-level Unreleased block
- strengthen the changelog checker so it validates a single top-level Unreleased section
- fix the CI/package support mismatch by declaring Python >=3.10 consistently and gating pandas-ta extras to Python 3.12+
- restore Sphinx autodoc compatibility for documented ferro_ta.<module> imports by registering module aliases
- make the TA-Lib benchmark guardrail less flaky by checking median and tail-percentile speedups instead of failing on a single mild outlier
- switch PyPI publishing to OIDC-only trusted publishing and wire the changelog check into the required CI gate
- apply the Ruff-driven cleanup across the Python and test tree and refresh uv/cargo lockfiles
Validated locally:
- python3 scripts/check_changelog.py
- uv run --with ruff ruff check python tests
- uv run --with ruff ruff format --check python tests
- uv lock --check
- sphinx-build -b html docs docs/_build -W --keep-going
- build/install the ferro_ta 1.0.0 wheel successfully
