kingchenc d59cd44043 docs: standardise language naming + binding security sections (#290)
* docs: standardise language naming and add binding security sections

Canonical binding list everywhere: Rust, Python, Node.js, WASM, C, C++, C#,
Go, Java, R. Use C# (not .NET) as the language label, WASM (not WebAssembly)
in prose, and frame the C ABI as a hub rather than a list item.

- Bump stale indicator counts (200+ -> 514) and family count (sixteen ->
  twenty-four) in the Node/Python/WASM and docs READMEs.
- Add a short Security section to all eight binding READMEs.
- Relabel benchmark rows (C -> C / C++, C# / .NET -> C#).
- Fix the 'language stecker' wording in the C#/Go/R API intros.
- Documentation only; no code or public API changes.

* release.yml: extend install snippets and expose version output

Add the missing registry installs to the release body (dotnet, go, Gradle/
Maven Central, r-universe) alongside cargo/pip/npm, and expose a v-stripped
'version' output from the tag step for the Gradle coordinate. Also fix the
C-ABI language order in the assets note (C# before Go).

* release.yml: correct the release body (10 languages, all registries)

Reframe the tagline to '10 languages' (native Rust/Python/Node.js/WASM + a C
ABI hub for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) instead of '4 language registries', note
that C#/Java/Go/R publish to NuGet/Maven/Go/r-universe via their own jobs, and
tidy the Node.js label and the C-ABI hub list.

**Streaming-first technical indicators for C#. `dotnet add package Wickra`
prebuilt native library, no system dependencies.**
Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and
bindings for Python, Node.js and WASM, plus a C ABI for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R 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 C# binding; it consumes the
C ABI hub through `[LibraryImport]` P/Invoke and exposes all 514 streaming-first
indicators as idiomatic `IDisposable` classes.
## Install
```bash
dotnet add package Wickra
```
The native library ships prebuilt per platform (Linux, macOS, Windows — x64 and
arm64) under `runtimes/<rid>/native/`, selected automatically. There is nothing
to compile. Targets .NET 8 and later.
## Quick start
```csharp
using Wickra;
// Batch: run an indicator over a whole series (NaN at warmup positions).
var prices = Enumerable.Range(0, 1000).Select(i => 100.0 + i * 0.1).ToArray();
using var sma = new Sma(20);
double[] values = sma.Batch(prices);
// Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
using var rsi = new Rsi(14);
foreach (var price in liveFeed)
{
var value = rsi.Update(price); // NaN during warmup, no recomputation
if (double.IsFinite(value) && value > 70)
{
Console.WriteLine("overbought");
}
}
```
`Batch(prices)` and feeding the same prices through `Update()` produce identical
values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite. Multi-output indicators
(MACD, Bollinger, ADX, …) return a nullable `record struct`, `null` while warming up.
## Benchmark
`benchmarks/` reports streaming and batch updates-per-second for `SMA`, `ATR`
and `MACD`. It measures this binding's FFI overhead, not a cross-library ratio
(the same Rust core runs under every binding) — see the repository
[BENCHMARKS.md](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/blob/main/BENCHMARKS.md) §3.
```bash
cargo build -p wickra-c --release
dotnet run -c Release --project benchmarks
```
## 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/csharp/`](https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/tree/main/examples/csharp)
Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WASM and Rust, plus a
C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) links against —
all exposing the same indicators from the shared, `unsafe`-forbidden Rust core.
## Security
Found a security issue? **Please don't open a public issue.** Report it privately
via the affected repository's *Security* tab (*"Report a vulnerability"*) or email
**support@wickra.org** with a subject line starting `[wickra security]`. Full
policy: <https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/blob/main/SECURITY.md>.
## 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.
