Expands MkDocs navigation and documentation for evidence elimination, the merge command, and kmer filtering. Refactors kmer representation to a generic `KmerOf<L>` type with a bitwise reverse complement algorithm. Unifies MPHF construction, introduces approximate fingerprint-based indexing, and updates the pipeline, chunkreader, and storage layouts. Adds code coverage reports and clarifies architectural invariants for improved maintainability.
Formalize the two-phase MPHF indexing architecture and update Phase 6 to use `evidence.bin` for direct kmer extraction. Simplify the evidence and unitig storage layouts to flat packed formats enabling O(1) random access. Introduce aggregation traits (`ColumnWeights`, `CountPartials`, `BitPartials`) to support additive distance metric decomposition across partitions. Narrow the documented scope from metagenomic to individual genome datasets, and replace speculative open questions with concrete implementation specifications.
Add comprehensive documentation for the `obilayeredmap` crate, `PersistentCompactIntVec`, `PersistentBitVec`, and the hierarchical k-mer index architecture, including sidebar navigation updates across all documentation pages. Refactor the Bray-Curtis distance computation in `obicompactvec` to decouple numerator and denominator calculations, replacing direct pairwise calls with explicit loops over precomputed sums. Update tests to verify column sum accuracy and align with the simplified API.
