kingchenc 91f6f67257 Add C# (.NET) binding over the C ABI hub (#226)
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.

**Streaming-first technical indicators for Python. `pip install wickra` — no
system dependencies, no C build tooling.**
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# and any
other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1)
streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share
the exact same implementation. This package is the Python binding (PyO3); it
exposes 200+ streaming-first indicators across sixteen families.
## Install
```bash
pip install wickra
```
Pre-built wheels ship for Linux, macOS, and Windows — there is nothing to
compile and no C library to track down.
## Quick start
```python
import numpy as np
import wickra as ta
# Batch: classic TA-Lib-style usage over a whole array.
prices = np.linspace(100, 200, 1000)
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
values = rsi.batch(prices) # numpy array, NaN during warmup
# Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
rsi = ta.RSI(14)
for price in live_feed:
value = rsi.update(price) # no recomputation over history
if value is not None and value > 70:
print("overbought")
```
`batch(prices)` and feeding the same prices through `update()` produce
identical values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite.
## 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 examples:** [`examples/python/`](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/tree/main/examples/python)
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.
