Documents a proposed redesign for cross-partition batch resolution, shifting trigger logic to per-destination accumulator thresholds and introducing entropy-based pruning criteria. Adds an `n_layers_per_partition` method to the index, exposing partition metadata with consistent error handling and clarified documentation regarding build-time structural properties.
Shifts sibling annex construction from slot-indexed enumeration to iteration-order traversal by correcting cumulative k-mer offset tracking in batch enumeration. Replaces coarse per-partition parallelism with chunked work distribution to prevent thread starvation on skewed partitions. Decouples custom progress messages from ETA updates to eliminate display clobbering during high-frequency callbacks. Adds regression tests validating batch offset correctness, partial batch handling, and iterator-order consistency across layer builds.
Introduces batch retrieval and sub-matrix extraction methods across vector, view, reader, and matrix types. These implementations optimize cache locality by sorting requested indices for sequential memory access before applying an inverse permutation to restore original order. Includes allocation-free variants that populate caller-provided buffers. Updates architecture documentation to define sibling annex persistence in iteration order and clarify pipeline separation.
