- Refactored Node representation using compact bitfields for neighbor counts
and nucleotides; added count_neighbors helper to compute_degrees()
- Introduced StartIter iterator for unitig/longtigu generation with revised
traversal semantics (e.g., interior node marking)
- Added nucleotide() accessor to Kmer type for 2-bit extraction at position i
- Renamed unitig.rs → longtigs, updated CLI command and output filenames to reflect "long t ig"
- Extended extract_kmers() in scripts/compare.py with duplication statistics
```
Replace raw SuperkMer routing with a new RoutableSuperKimer type that embeds canonical sequences and precomputed minimizers, enabling direct partition routing via hash. Update the build pipeline to yield RoutableSuperKmers throughout (builder, scatterer), refactor FASTA/unitig export commands to use the new type and compressed outputs (.fasta.gz, .unitigs.fasta.zst), revise SuperKmer header to store n_kmers instead of seql (avoiding 256-byte wrap), and update documentation to reflect minimizer-based theory, two evidence-encoding strategies for unitig-MPHF indexing (global offset vs. ID+rank), and the new obipipeline library architecture with parallel workers, biased scheduling, and error handling.
