kingchenc 3ebcb3f758 Per-binding throughput benchmarks + test-coverage gaps (#246)
Adds a `throughput` benchmark to every target and closes two small
test-coverage documentation/QA gaps. One PR, no merge of binding code beyond
the additive benchmarks and one C test.

## 1. Per-binding throughput benchmarks (all 9 targets)

Each benchmark feeds a deterministic synthetic OHLCV series through three
indicators chosen by **FFI call-signature archetype** (not algorithm — the same
Rust core runs underneath all bindings):

- `SMA(20)` — 1-in → 1-out (baseline boundary cost)
- `ATR(14)` — multi-in → 1-out (input marshalling)
- `MACD(12,26,9)` — 1-in → multi-out (output marshalling)

Streaming is timed for all three; batch for the single-output SMA and ATR
(median of 3 runs, after a warmup pass).

New: Python (PyO3), WASM, C (CMake), C# (Stopwatch), Go, Java (FFM), R, and the
Rust core baseline (`examples/rust/.../throughput.rs`, **no FFI** — the ceiling
the bindings are measured against and the value their batch paths converge
towards). Node already had `throughput.js`.

**Not a speed claim:** there is no comparable streaming TA library for C, C#,
Go, Java, R or WASM to compare against, so these are raw per-binding throughput
numbers documenting each language's FFI overhead — see BENCHMARKS.md §3. The
"Wickra is fast" claim still lives in §1/§2 (Rust core + the Python/Rust
cross-library runs).

## 2. README `## Testing`: C# and C bullets

The section listed every layer except C# and C, even though both have suites.
Adds the two missing bullets.

## 3. C archetype ctest

`examples/c/archetypes.c` drives one indicator per FFI archetype through the
real C boundary (scalar + batch==streaming, multi-output, bars, profile, array
input) plus reset, invalid-parameter and NULL-safety — the C counterpart of the
Go/R/Java archetype suites. Runs on three OSes via the existing CMake/ctest.

## Notes

- Benchmarks are not CI-gated (manual-run scripts, like the existing
  `throughput.js`); no `ci.yml`/`release.yml` changes.
- Docs: BENCHMARKS.md §3, a `## Benchmark` section in every binding README, a
  CHANGELOG entry.
- Verified locally by running: Rust, Python, C, C#, Go, Java (real numbers); the
  C archetype ctest with `-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Werror`. WASM and R are
  API-correct and syntax-checked but need their own toolchains to run.

kingchenc 05fe7ffa90 perf: bit-exact batch fast paths + streaming-first benchmark docs (#202)
## Summary
- Dedicated batch fast paths for **EMA, RSI, Bollinger, MACD and ATR** (used by the Python bindings): one allocation filled in a single pass, warmup encoded as `NaN`, no per-element `Option` or input re-validation. Each is **bit-for-bit equal** to replaying `update` — SMA/Bollinger keep the drift-reseed cadence, the EMA-family keep the seed division and `mul_add` recurrences. Adds the `BatchNanExt` extension trait.
- **Cross-library benchmark refresh**: `compare_libraries.py` reports the median across timing rounds (`--rounds` / `--streaming-rounds`), gains `--skip-batch` / `--skip-streaming`, and runs every peer through the streaming arena (recompute for batch-only libraries). `wickra-bench` drives the batch fast paths against `kand`.
- **README** benchmark section reordered streaming-first (the order-of-magnitude result), with measured TA-Lib/tulipy/pandas-ta numbers in place of the CI-only placeholders.

## Impact
- Python batch ~2× faster on EMA/RSI/MACD/ATR; streaming path unchanged.
- The `batch == streaming` equivalence stays bit-exact.

## Verification
- `cargo fmt` · `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings` (clean)
- `cargo test --workspace --all-features` — 3782 unit + 420 doc tests pass
- Python `pytest` — streaming-vs-batch, known-values, input-validation, smoke pass

## Notes
- Node/WASM bindings keep their existing batch; the fast paths are Python-only for now.

kingchenc aacb9280f1 Honest tiered cross-library benchmark + streaming/batch perf (#186)
## Summary

An honest, tiered cross-library benchmark — and the optimization pass it triggered.

### Performance (wickra-core, outputs unchanged)
Profiling against the other Rust TA crates exposed real inefficiencies. Each
benchmarked indicator is now **5–79% faster** in both streaming and batch:

- **SMA, Bollinger**: flat `Box<[f64]>` ring buffers replace `VecDeque` (−69…79%).
- **RSI**: `100·ag/(ag+al)` collapses three divisions into one; Wilder smoothing
  hoists `1/period` out of the hot path (−46%).
- **ATR**: reciprocal hoisted (−42%).
- **EMA/RSI/ATR**: per-tick `Option<f64>` hot state → bare `f64` + ready flag.

Net result vs `kand`: Wickra now wins **RSI, Bollinger and ATR** (streaming), and
ties `ta-rs` on SMA — up from losing every indicator 1.5–6× before.

### Benchmark harness
New `crates/wickra-bench` (publish=false): a Criterion benchmark comparing Wickra
against `kand`, `ta-rs` and `yata` on an identical BTCUSDT candle series, in
streaming and batch modes. Peer APIs were verified against their source, not
guessed. Wired into the nightly `cross-library-bench` workflow as a separate job.

### Honest README
The benchmark section is rewritten into three layered tables (Rust core vs Rust
crates; Python vs the Python ecosystem) that **show the losses as well as the
wins**. The "only library that combines…" claim is gone; the new framing is
breadth + multi-language reach + the deliberate safety trade-off that costs raw
speed. Added an origin/why-slower rationale and a star CTA.

### Python benchmark
Added `tulipy` runners and expanded per-tick streaming coverage to SMA/EMA/RSI/
MACD/Bollinger. `bench.in`/`bench.txt` now lock `TA-Lib` + `tulipy` (hash-pinned);
`pandas-ta` stays out (it requires Python ≥ 3.12, the bench runs on 3.11).

### Notes
- TA-Lib/tulipy numbers in the README Python table are marked ⧗ — they are
  produced by the CI Linux job (C extensions don't build cleanly on every
  desktop), not measured locally.
- The matching `wickra-docs` prose update is committed separately and will be
  pushed with the release, per the docs-don't-lead-the-registries rule.

Verified locally: `cargo fmt`, `cargo test --workspace --all-features` (3413 core
+ bindings), `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -D warnings`,
Node build + 498 tests, and pytest all green.

A multi-language technical analysis library: 25 indicators across trend,
momentum, volatility, and volume families, every one a state machine with

trait over the streaming primitive, so live trading bots and historical
backtests run the same code path.
