Replaced scattered direct metadata loading with centralized instance methods on `KmerPartition` to guarantee consistent error mapping and legacy recovery. Introduced `StorageKind`, `LayerContent`, and `EvidenceKind` enums alongside lightweight disk-probe methods that inspect file presence without opening heavy data structures. Updated callers across the index, partitioner, and phylo modules to use the new partition API, and added unit tests validating the introspection behavior.
Introduce a design specification outlining performance bottlenecks in layer data access and an agreed-upon implementation direction for caching. Refactor the codebase to centralize index and layer directory path resolution within the partition object, replacing manual string joining and external helper functions with dedicated accessor methods.
Standardizes layer directory path resolution across obikindex, obikpartitionner, and obikphylo by replacing inline string formatting and join calls with the centralized obilayeredmap::layer_dir utility. This refactoring removes redundant path construction logic while preserving existing iteration bounds, control flow, and public APIs.
Adds a new binary that validates bit-level consistency between dense and sparse K-mer index representations by sampling slots across partitions and reporting discrepancies. Refactors sibling cache matrix initialization into a centralized factory method to simplify control flow and standardize error handling. Introduces diagnostic configurations, benchmark scripts, and an ignored test case to support k-mer resolution analysis.
Introduces `--subsample N` and `--shannon` CLI flags to cap retained variable families via proportional reservoir sampling and compute per-family Shannon entropy. Updates the family scanning API to support explicit selection filtering with early-exit optimization, resolving an indexing drift issue in monomorphic layers. Streams entropy metrics for 15-state and 4-nucleotide spaces directly to CSV while maintaining parallel processing across sibling layers.
Centralize the layer count validation into PartitionCache and track it via a new fast_mode flag. Extend query tuples to include a pre-resolved destination layer index, enabling a fast-path batch lookup that bypasses per-layer probing when enabled. Refactor neighbor iteration and hit resolution to eliminate duplication and conditionally dispatch to the optimized path based on the cache state.
Relocates `SiblingAnnex`, `FamilyMask`, and `SiblingAnnexBuilder` from `obicompactvec` to the local `obikphylo::siblings` module. Replaces the previous implementation with a memory-mapped version using `memmap2`, featuring a 2-byte-per-slot layout, explicit bitfield manipulation, and support for concurrent atomic writes. Updates all sibling module imports to local paths and adds the `memmap2` dependency to `obikphylo`.
Relocate the `siblings` and `cardcomp` modules from `obikindex` to a dedicated `obikphylo` workspace member. Convert inherent methods on `KmerIndex` into extension traits, update import paths across `obikmer`, and add supporting accessor methods to `obikseq` and `obilayeredmap`. This restructuring reduces the public API surface of `obikindex` while organizing phylogenetic iteration, caching, and distance calculation logic under a dedicated crate.
