The first language stecker on the C ABI hub: a .NET binding exposing all 514
indicators as idiomatic `IDisposable` classes, generated from `wickra.h`.
## What's here
- **`bindings/csharp/`** — the `Wickra` .NET 8 package. `[LibraryImport]`
source-generated P/Invoke (`NativeMethods.g.cs`) plus idiomatic wrappers
(`Indicators.g.cs`), both generated from the committed `bindings/c/include/wickra.h`.
The binding owns no indicator maths — it only marshals types across the C ABI.
- **Marshalling, verified end-to-end against the native library.** Opaque handles
cross as `nint` kept alive per call via a `SafeHandle`; `bool` as
`[MarshalAs(U1)]` (Rust `bool` is one byte); a self-correcting
`DllImportResolver` validates the loaded library actually exports the Wickra
ABI. Tests cover one representative per FFI archetype (scalar, candle, pairwise,
multi-output, bars, profile, values-profile, order-book / array-input) plus
exact Sma reference values.
- **NuGet packaging** — `dotnet pack` produces `Wickra.<version>.nupkg`; the
release pipeline stages prebuilt native libraries under `runtimes/<rid>/native/`
for six target triples (win/linux/osx × x64/arm64).
- **`examples/csharp/`** — nine examples mirroring `examples/c/`: streaming,
backtest, multi_timeframe, parallel_assets, three strategies, and
fetch_btcusdt + live_binance.
- **CI** — a `csharp` job on the three OSes builds the C ABI, tests the binding,
and runs the offline examples. **Release** — a gated `csharp-publish` job packs
and pushes to NuGet (gated on `NUGET_API_KEY`, independent of the GitHub-release
job so a C# hiccup never blocks the C/C++ asset release).
- **Docs consistency wave** — README, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, examples/README,
the issue / PR templates, `sync-about.yml`, and `.gitattributes`.
The native Python / Node / WASM bindings and the C ABI are untouched; this is
additive. Publishing to NuGet stays gated behind the release tag and the secret.
Stacked on #222 (base `feat/c-abi-hub`), so the diff is just the additions on top of the hub foundation — no merge of #222 required.
## What this adds
**Examples — full parity with rust/python/node (`examples/c/`)**
- `streaming.c` upgraded to the multi-indicator (SMA/EMA/RSI/MACD + signals) demo
- `backtest.c`, `multi_timeframe.c` (manual time-bucket resampling), `parallel_assets.c` (serial vs OpenMP fan-out, one handle per asset)
- three educational strategies: `strategy_rsi_mean_reversion.c`, `strategy_macd_adx.c`, `strategy_bollinger_squeeze.c`
- two network examples shelling out to `curl`: `fetch_btcusdt.c`, `live_binance.c` (REST poll)
- two header-only helpers (`wickra_csv.h`, `wickra_strategy.h`) since the C ABI ships no IO layer
- CMake builds all 11; the 9 offline ones run under `ctest` on 3 OS; the network two are built-only
**Docs & metadata — surface the C ABI everywhere it was missing**
- ARCHITECTURE diagram + crate table, SECURITY + THREAT_MODEL (the C ABI as the sole `unsafe` FFI surface), the three binding package READMEs, issue/PR templates, CHANGELOG, and the GitHub About template (live About + org description updated too)
**Cleanup**
- removed all references to the private generator tooling from public files (`bindings/c/src/lib.rs` header, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `sync-about.yml`)
Verified locally: `cargo build -p wickra-c --release`, `cmake + ctest` (9/9 pass), and `-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic` clean on gcc 13.
Five governance + onboarding files that collectively close the
"no high-level documentation outside of README" gap.
- ARCHITECTURE.md: workspace layout, Indicator trait contract,
per-indicator file conventions, numerical-stability notes,
cross-crate flow diagram, navigation cheatsheet, deliberate
non-goals, performance characteristics, stability commitments.
- ROADMAP.md: north star, 0.3 / 0.4 / 0.5 release windows,
indicator-wishlist intake rules, explicit non-goals, versioning policy.
- CITATION.cff: GitHub-renders as "Cite this repository" button;
enables academic adoption.
- .github/FUNDING.yml: surfaces Sponsor button on the repo page.
- .editorconfig: normalises indent/EOL across IDEs (Rust/Python 4 spaces,
JS/TS/JSON/YAML/MD 2 spaces, Makefile tabs).
Touches no Rust source, no CI workflows, no behaviour. Additive only.
URLs in ROADMAP/CITATION already reference the post-transfer
`wickra-lib/wickra` org so the files stay valid once the org migration
in PR #59 lands; merge this PR only after #59 to keep main consistent.
