…ule) Apply the Strict Mirror Rule from PYTHON_PORTING_GUIDE.md: every Python function name must be an identical string match to its MATLAB counterpart. Renamed ~80+ functions across 17 source files, 6 test files, and 2 tutorials from snake_case to camelCase. Updated MATLAB_MAPPING.md to reflect new names. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Skj3WbRtzYBdW5uk6nazhE
Rename functions across ndi.fun.* to use MATLAB-style camelCase naming: - utils: name2variable_name → name2variableName - data: read_image_stack → readImageStack - doc: all_types → allTypes, find_fuid → findFuid, etc. - doc_table: ontology_table_row_doc_to_table → ontologyTableRowDoc2Table, etc. - epoch: t0_t1_to_array → t0_t1cell2array - file: md5 → MD5, date_created → dateCreated, date_updated → dateUpdated - table: identify_matching_rows → identifyMatchingRows, etc. - stimulus: find_mixture_name → findMixtureName, etc. - name_utils: name_to_variable_name → name2variableName All old snake_case names preserved as backward-compatible aliases. New ndi.fun.plot module ported from MATLAB with bar3, multichan, stimulusTimeseries. Updated all references in tests and tutorials. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Skj3WbRtzYBdW5uk6nazhE

Summary
This PR standardizes the Python API function naming to use camelCase (matching MATLAB conventions) instead of snake_case. This improves consistency across the NDI ecosystem and makes the MATLAB-to-Python mapping more intuitive.
