Implements a new `merge` command that aggregates k-mer counts and presence/absence matrices from multiple source indices using a parallelized, partition-based algorithm. Adds CLI progress bars and execution timing across the bootstrap, spectrum rebuild, and merge phases. Updates logging to report the aggregate genome count and introduces a bounds check in the perfect hash layer to safely return `None` for unknown k-mers, preventing out-of-bounds access in downstream operations.
Introduces a new `merge` CLI subcommand and underlying implementation to consolidate multiple pre-indexed k-mer indexes into a single output. Adds `append_column` methods to persistent bit and int matrices to enable incremental genome column expansion without rebuilding the MPHF. Includes new error variants for index readiness and configuration mismatches, adds a `--force` flag to the index command, and updates documentation and navigation structure accordingly.
Extracts MPHF construction, evidence encoding, and unitig I/O into a new `MphfLayer` module. This removes direct dependencies on `Evidence`, `PersistentBitMatrix`, and `PersistentCompactIntMatrix` from `Layer`. The `query` method is simplified to perform direct MPHF lookups, while build logic and serialization are consolidated within the new module.
Introduces ColumnWeights, CountPartials, and BitPartials traits to compute and finalize partial distance matrices. Implements these traits for PersistentBitMatrix, PersistentCompactIntMatrix, and a new LayeredStore<S> wrapper that aggregates metrics across layers via parallel reduction. Adds ndarray for numerical aggregation and updates architecture documentation to reflect the trait-driven design and pending refactoring roadmap.
Introduces `PersistentBitMatrix` and `PersistentCompactIntMatrix` to replace single-file vector storage with a column-major, directory-based layout. Each column is persisted as an individual file alongside a lightweight `meta.json` for dimension tracking. Migrates `obilayeredmap` to use these multi-column structures, updating Rust APIs, query return types, and build signatures. Includes comprehensive documentation, unit and integration tests for persistence and accessors, and refactors distance calculation helpers.
Replace the hardcoded `Counts` module with a generic `LayerData` trait, parameterizing `Layer` and `LayeredMap` over arbitrary payload types. This decouples read-path access from build-path logic, enabling both set membership and count-based indexing via `PersistentCompactIntVec`. Adds the `obicompactvec` dependency, implements streaming layer construction, and expands test coverage for persistence and multi-layer resolution.
Introduce the `obicompactvec` crate, featuring a two-tier, memory-mapped integer vector that uses a primary `u8` array with a sentinel for overflow dispatch and a sparse L1-resident index for fast random access. Implement builder and reader modules with zero-copy serialization and comprehensive test coverage. Update `obilayeredmap` to replace the default hash function with a cache-line-optimized `Mphf`, adding explicit bounds checking and duplicate-slot detection. Add documentation for both modules and update project configuration files accordingly.
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.
Introduces the `obilayeredmap` crate (v0.1.0), implementing an append-only, disk-backed k-mer index using a minimal perfect hash function (MPHF). The module features memory-mapped reads, buffered writes, custom error handling, partition metadata persistence, and comprehensive unit tests. Also adds a reverse complement benchmark for `obikseq` and updates `Cargo.lock` with the new dependencies.
