Adds an R binding (`bindings/r`) over the C ABI hub — the third language stecker after C# and Go, reaching the hub through R's native `.Call` interface (not extendr).

## What's here
- **`bindings/r`** — an R package exposing all 514 indicators as constructors that return a `wickra_indicator` object with generic `update`/`batch`/`reset` methods. The C glue (`src/wickra.c`) and R wrappers (`R/indicators.R`) are generated from `bindings/c/include/wickra.h` (same archetype taxonomy as the C#/Go generators: scalar/batch, multi-output, bars, profile, profile-values, array-input). The opaque handle is an R external pointer freed by a registered finalizer; multi-output returns a named vector (`NA` at warmup), bars a matrix, profiles a list.
- **`examples/r`** — the full example suite mirroring C/C#/Go: streaming, backtest, multi_timeframe, parallel_assets (`mclapply`), three strategies, and `fetch_btcusdt`/`live_binance`.
- **CI** — an `r` job builds the C ABI library, installs the package, runs the `testthat` suite and the offline examples on Linux, macOS and Windows (`R CMD check` is clean: 0 warnings, 0 notes).
- **Docs** — R added to the README languages table, project layout, building/testing, CONTRIBUTING binding table + regenerate note, ARCHITECTURE, examples index, issue/PR templates, the About-description template, and the other binding READMEs.

## Linking / distribution
The package compiles a thin `.Call` glue layer against the prebuilt C ABI library (header via `WICKRA_INCLUDE_DIR`, library via `WICKRA_LIB_DIR`). On Windows the package's own `wickra.dll` would collide with the C ABI's `wickra.dll`, so `configure.win` stages a renamed copy (`wickra_abi.dll`) and builds an import library referencing it; `install.libs.R` bundles the DLL and `.onLoad` puts it on the load path. On Linux/macOS the rpath locates the shared library. No `release.yml` change — R is distributed via r-universe / source install (gated).

No Rust crate or `Cargo.toml` change — the R package is standalone and additive.

# Wickra — WebAssembly

**Streaming-first technical indicators in the browser. `npm install
wickra-wasm` — pure WebAssembly, runs anywhere a modern JS engine does.**
Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and
bindings for Python, Node.js and WebAssembly, plus a C ABI for C/C++, C#, Go, R and any
other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1)
streaming state machine, so live trading dashboards and historical backtests
share the exact same implementation. This package is the WebAssembly binding
(wasm-bindgen, built for the `web` target); it exposes 200+ streaming-first
indicators across sixteen families.
## Install
```bash
npm install wickra-wasm
```
## Quick start
The module ships a default `init` export that loads the `.wasm` payload; await
it once before constructing indicators.
```js
import init, { RSI } from 'wickra-wasm';
await init(); // load the WebAssembly module once
// Streaming: feed prices tick by tick in O(1).
const rsi = new RSI(14);
for (const price of liveFeed) {
const value = rsi.update(price); // null during warmup
if (value !== null && value > 70) {
console.log('overbought');
}
}
```
Constructors mirror the other bindings (`new SMA(20)`, `new MACD(12, 26, 9)`,
`new BollingerBands(20, 2.0)`, …); `update()` returns the latest value or
`null` while the indicator is still warming up.
## Documentation
The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in
the main repository and documentation site:
- **Repository & full indicator list:** <https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra>
- **Docs** (quickstarts, cookbook, TA-Lib migration): <https://docs.wickra.org>
- **Runnable browser examples:** [`examples/wasm/`](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/tree/main/examples/wasm)
Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WebAssembly and Rust, plus a
C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, Go, C#, Java, R) links against —
all exposing the same indicators from the shared, `unsafe`-forbidden Rust core.
## Disclaimer
Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes
are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice
and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own
risk. The library is provided **as is**, without warranty of any kind.
