Address PR #372 R8 review (2 P3): bibliography completeness for HAD inference
P3 - HAD blurb in docs/references.rst still said "strictly positive" - I corrected README, llms.txt, and api/had.rst in R7 but missed the bibliography blurb. Rewrite to match: "panels where no unit remains untreated...nonnegative dose...both Design 1' (d̲=0 / QUG) and Design 1 (d̲>0) supported." P3 - api/had.rst names CCT-2014 and Binder (1983) but those weren't in docs/references.rst (the new bibliography source of truth) - Add three new sub-sections to references.rst: - "Nonparametric Bias-Corrected Inference" with CCT 2014 (Econometrica bias-combined design matrix) + CCF 2018 (JASA coverage accuracy) + CCF 2019 (JSS nprobust). All three back the in-house lprobust port used by HAD continuous-dose paths. - "Survey-Design Inference (Taylor-Series Linearization)" with Binder (1983) International Statistical Review. Backs the survey= paths across diff-diff (compute_survey_if_variance and per-estimator IF compositions including dCDH and HAD). - These are also CONTRIBUTING.md "bibliography source of truth" entries for general inference machinery, not just HAD: the survey paths reference Binder TSL across all survey-aware estimators, and CCF nprobust is also used by ContinuousDiD's bias-correction path.

CCF (2018, 2019) is the underlying ``nprobust`` machinery (MSE-optimal bandwidth selection and robust bias-corrected CIs) that ``HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD`` ports in-house for the continuous-dose paths.

Primary source for the Weighted Average Slope (WAS) estimator and its multi-period event-study extension implemented in our ``HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD`` class. Targets settings where every unit receives a strictly positive heterogeneous dose at treatment time, using local-linear regression at the support boundary.

Primary source for the Weighted Average Slope (WAS) estimator and its multi-period event-study extension implemented in our ``HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD`` class. Targets panels where no unit remains untreated at the post period and treatment dose ``D_{g,2}`` is nonnegative, using local-linear regression at the dose support boundary - both Design 1' (the QUG case with ``d̲ = 0``) and Design 1 (no QUG with ``d̲ > 0``) are supported.
