Restructure the benchmark pipeline to direct all simulated data, indices, statistics, and query outputs into a unified `run/` directory. Update Makefile targets, shell scripts, and Python utilities to resolve paths relative to this new base. Adjust documentation and dependency tracking to match the revised layout, and remove outdated temporary artifacts.
Rename the distance CLI subcommand to phylo across the codebase, documentation, and build configurations. Relocate source files from cmd/distance/ to a dedicated cmd/phylo/ module, update all internal routing references, and adjust benchmark scripts and Makefile targets to reflect the new command name.
Introduces scripts to compute and validate pairwise genomic distance matrices across multiple metrics. Updates the Makefile with build and comparison targets, adds .gitignore rules for generated outputs, and includes test CSV matrices and a Newick phylogenetic tree for validating the distance computation pipeline.
