Replaces the dense `KmerResults` matrix with a sparse `SmerIndex` (`Vec<bool>` + offsets) that tracks k-mer presence independently of per-genome counts. Introduces a new aggregation pass, `sparse_findere_for_genome`, which sorts hits, detects contiguous runs, and applies monotone-deque scans to compute sliding-window minimums. This reduces query complexity from O(n_smers) to O(hits log hits), significantly lowering memory overhead and computational cost for low-density queries. Adds a deterministic PRNG and dense reference oracle in tests to validate correctness against randomized inputs without external property-testing crates.
Refactor the query pipeline into a two-stage MPHF hit-detection pass followed by a column-major matrix fetch to improve cache efficiency. Introduce a QueryHit enum for event-driven callbacks, decoupling hit detection from data population. Add scan/fetch metrics to QueryStats, update Phase 4 architecture docs, and align tests with the new callback signature.
Clarifies that query processing is fully inlined within `process_chunk` using flat allocations, refining monotone-deque sliding window semantics and `kmer_missing` tracking. Updates `QueryLayer::open` variant precedence and introduces a phased roadmap (Phases 0–6) to address performance bottlenecks through parallel I/O, genome-aware chunk sizing, k-mer dereplication, NUMA-aware matrix fetches, and sparse Findere rework.
Optimize query serialization by conditionally excluding genomes with zero total matches. This reduces JSON payload size while preserving the label-to-count mapping structure. Updates architecture documentation and bumps version to 1.1.36.
Fix a stray prefix in the README heading and update documentation to reflect the query pipeline's operation on `s-mers` (`s = k - z + 1`) with post-partition z-window filtering. Clarify the Findere trick, including k-mer size reduction, consecutive match requirements, and false positive rate calculations. Additionally, expand input format documentation to cover supported file extensions, gzip compression, recursive directory handling, and `query` command specifications.
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.
