chore: clean-up

Description

> What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• propagates fixes merged to develop between 2026-08-14 and 2026-08-15 to sibling packages.

Source commit a99a888 (docs: fix typo) corrected probablity to probability in stats/base/dists/geometric/variance/src/main.c but left the identical string in the package README, which documents the same C API parameter. That README line was the last occurrence of probablity anywhere in the repository; fixing it brings the file in line with all eight sibling stats/base/dists/geometric/* READMEs, which already read "success probability". Target package:

• @stdlib/stats/base/dists/geometric/variance

blas/base/ndarray/ssymv (added in 26e6545 after PR #14261's len → N cleanup was authored) shipped with the same stale template: len documented as "array length" for a parameter that is actually the dense N-by-N symmetric matrix dimension, plus a len=%d benchmark label reporting the wrong problem size. This commit applies the identical fix from source commit 75cbfe8 (bench: fix description and update variable names in blas/base/ndarray) — rename len to N, correct the JSDoc to "number of elements along each dimension", and switch the label to %s:size=%d reporting N*N — bringing ssymv in line with ssyr, sgemv, and the rest of the blas/base/ndarray matrix-op benchmarks. With this change, every matrix-op benchmark in blas/base/ndarray follows the docs/contributing/benchmark_names.md convention. Target package:

• @stdlib/blas/base/ndarray/ssymv

Validation: candidate sites were enumerated per source pattern (repo-wide probablity search with a single remaining hit; %s:len=%d labels co-occurring with two-dimensional allocations across blas/base/ndarray/*/benchmark/, where the 40 remaining len=%d files are level-1 vector routines for which len is correct terminology). Two independent validation passes confirmed each defect by reading each target file in full, an adaptation pass verified the dense (N*N) versus packed (( N * ( N+1 ) ) / 2) size expression and the declaration ordering against the fixed siblings, and a style pass checked wording against the eight sibling geometric/* READMEs and the fixed ssyr/sgemv benchmarks. Deliberately excluded: three additional source patterns from the window (stale README variable note from 8d4d135, missing ComplexLike JSDoc types from ee85255, missing Cephes install step from 7f74364) after exhaustive searches found no remaining sibling defects.

Hello! 👋

We've noticed that you've been opening a number of PRs addressing good first issues. Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm!

Now that you've made a few contributions, we suggest no longer working on good first issues. Instead, we encourage you to prioritize cleaning up any PRs which have yet to be merged and then proceed to work on more involved tasks.

Not only does this ensure that other new contributors can work on things and get ramped up on all things stdlib, it also ensures that you can spend your time on more challenging problems. 🚀

For ideas for future PRs, feel free to search the codebase for TODOs and FIXMEs and be sure to check out other open issues on the issue tracker. Cheers!
