Replace `ph` with `ptr_hash` and introduce `epserde` and `rayon` dependencies. Refactor MPHF construction to leverage parallel iteration, eliminating intermediate `Vec<u64>` allocations and reducing memory footprint. Add a `n_kmers` field to track and serialize total kmer counts, alongside three zero-allocation iterators for efficient chunk traversal. Include comprehensive unit tests for the new iterators and update CLAUDE.md to enforce explicit dependency validation policies.
Centralize k-mer and minimizer configuration using a thread-safe global module, and replace manual bit-packing with a memory-efficient `PackedSeq` type. Refactor core sequence and k-mer types to use compile-time length enforcement and centralized hashing. Introduce a new De Bruijn graph implementation with compact node encoding and traversal iterators. Update I/O, partitioning, and builder modules to align with the new architecture, and add the `xxhash-rust` dependency.
