Removes circular-reverse complement machinery and explicit k-mer canonicalization across the entropy pipeline. Frequency tallying and Shannon entropy computation now operate directly on raw k-mer values, eliminating prior score inflation and alignment-dependent artifacts while preserving orientation invariance. Updates build scripts to generate normalized lookup tables for k-mer lengths 1–6, restricts the public API to `EntropyTracker`, and bumps crate versions. Documentation is updated to reflect the simplified raw-value approach and revised module structure.
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.
