kingchencandGitHub 995f119010 feat(patterns): add the Chart Patterns family (8 swing-based detectors) (#166)
## Summary

Adds a new **Chart Patterns** indicator family (counter 351 → 359, families 21 → 22), the first half of the A4 roadmap item (the harmonic patterns follow in a second PR).

All eight detectors are built on a shared, non-repainting swing-pivot tracker — the internal, **uncounted** `indicators::pattern_swing` module (declared `pub(crate) mod`, re-exported nowhere). Each consumes candles and emits the uniform pattern sign convention already used by the candlestick family — `+1.0` bullish / `-1.0` bearish / `0.0` otherwise, never `None`. They are parameter-free, baking the swing threshold (5%) and level tolerance (3%) in as documented constants, mirroring how candlestick patterns bake in their geometric thresholds.

## Detectors

| Indicator | Signal |
|-----------|--------|
| `DoubleTopBottom` | twin-peak / twin-trough reversal |
| `TripleTopBottom` | three matching extremes (stronger reversal) |
| `HeadAndShoulders` | central head + matching shoulders + flat neckline (and inverse) |
| `Triangle` | ascending (+1) / descending (-1) / symmetrical |
| `Wedge` | rising wedge (-1) / falling wedge (+1) |
| `FlagPennant` | shallow consolidation against a pole → continuation |
| `RectangleRange` | flat support/resistance mean-reversion |
| `CupAndHandle` | rounded base + shallow handle (and inverse) |

## Touchpoints

Core modules + `FAMILIES` group and assert, crate root re-exports, Python/Node/WASM bindings via the candle-pattern macros (Node `index.d.ts`/`index.js` regenerated), the candle fuzz target, Python reference + `CANDLE_SCALAR` registry tests and the Node candle-scalar factory, README catalogue counter + banner cache-buster + family table row + family-count word, `docs/README.md` counter, and the changelog.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p wickra-core --lib` — 2915 passed
- `cargo test -p wickra-core --doc` — 335 passed
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings` — clean
- Node `npm run build && npm test` — 436 passed
- Python `maturin develop --release` + `pytest` — 732 passed

Every detector branch is unit-tested; multi-condition predicates were flattened to single-line precomputed booleans to keep patch coverage at 100%.

/// Triangle — a consolidation pattern bounded by two converging trendlines,
/// detected from the two most recent swing highs and lows.
///
/// Built on confirmed swing pivots ([`SWING_THRESHOLD`] = 5%); evaluated on every
/// bar that confirms a new pivot once four pivots exist:
///
/// ```text
/// ascending : flat highs + rising lows → +1 (bullish bias)
/// descending : falling highs + flat lows → -1 (bearish bias)
/// symmetrical : falling highs + rising lows → +1 if the last pivot is a low
/// (an up-bounce), else -1
/// ```
///
/// "Flat" means the two highs (or lows) are within [`LEVEL_TOLERANCE`] (3%) of
/// each other; "rising"/"falling" means they differ by more than that tolerance.
/// The symmetrical case is directionally neutral, so its sign follows the
/// momentum of the most recently confirmed swing. Output is `+1.0` / `-1.0` /
/// `0.0`; never `None`.
