Label management with fluent configuration, change tracking, and named registry

LabelManagement is a Pine Script library for creating and managing dynamic chart labels. Built with a fluent-style API, it simplifies label creation, styling, positioning, and content updates through method chaining and centralized control.

Manage 'sticky' labels easily across bars with expressive, readable code that reduces clutter and improves code clarity.

Example usage:

// Close label – to the right of the last bar
labels.get("close")
  .style(label.style_label_left)
  .bgColor(color.gray)
  .xy(bar_index, close)
  .textValue("C: " + str.tostring(close, "#.##"))
  .textColor(color.white)
  .tooltip("This is the close price")
  .apply()

Key features:

• Fluent API – Build and update labels using a chainable configuration flow
  
• Named label registry – Access and manage labels by name, e.g., "entry", "stop", "target"
  
• Change tracking – Update only when necessary to reduce redraws
  
• Deferred application – Apply all changes in one efficient operation
  
• Centralized control – Works well in modular or multi-label environments
  

This library is designed for Pine developers who want more control and less boilerplate when managing visual elements on the chart.
