Introduces the `--findere-z` CLI flag to override the index's sliding window parameter and implements `apply_findere` to filter k-mer hits using a z-consecutive positions window. Adds structural support for `--detail` mode, including per-sequence k-mer offsets, conditional allocation of per-position coverage vectors, and JSON serialization. Updates architecture documentation, CLI references, and annotation schemas to align with the new implementation, resolving prior discrepancies with `--detail` and `--mismatch` flags.
Refactor `Kmer`, `SuperKmer`, and chunk reader into optimized, generic representations with compile-time length parameters and bitwise operations. Update the pipeline and scheduler to support batch processing, 1→N flat transformations, and multi-source merging. Introduce an approximate evidence mode using b-bit fingerprints and `.idx` files, alongside existing exact mode. Update CLI documentation, minimizer selection, and query output schema accordingly.
This change introduces the `query` CLI command and its supporting infrastructure for sequence-to-genome mapping and k-mer matching. It adds a `QueryLayer` abstraction backed by MPHF and persistent matrices, exposes the index partition for direct querying, and implements `Hash`/`Eq` for `RoutableSuperKmer`. The command ingests sequence batches, deduplicates superkmers, routes them to index partitions for parallel exact or 1-mismatch matching, and outputs results as FASTA records annotated with JSON metadata. Includes `serde_json` dependency addition, module exports, and documentation updates.
