fix(bitmatrix): explicitly compute diagonal entries for self-similarity

The pairwise matrix functions now explicitly calculate and overwrite diagonal entries using `f(i,i)`, replacing previous implicit symmetric mirroring or default values. Documentation has been updated to clarify that diagonals represent self-comparison weights, ensuring accurate self-similarity calculations. Additionally, the obikmer crate version has been bumped to 1.1.34.

+## Known issue: CPU-only activation signal stalls on I/O-bound stages
+
+Observed on a real `filter` run (109 genomes, 256 partitions, 8×24-core NUMA):
+`rebuild` (CPU-bound — k-mer construction) scales cleanly from 9 to 43 active
+workers as `CpuSample::do_i_activate` (`obisys::lib.rs`) sees efficiency climb.
+`pack_matrices` (I/O-bound — reopens and recomposes per-genome column files
+into `.pbmx`/`.pcmx`) activates one extra worker then flatlines at 10/192 for
+the rest of the stage, even though 256 partitions keep completing over several
+minutes. This matches the documented intent (§ Adaptive mechanism — "avoids
+over-provisioning ... I/O-bound ... workloads") but conflates two different
+things: *"CPU is not the bottleneck"* and *"more workers would not help"*. On
+storage with real queue depth (NVMe, RAID, parallel FS) the second stage could
+still benefit from more concurrent workers even with flat CPU usage — a signal
+the current mechanism cannot see.
+
+A one-off artefact was also found in the same log: right after a stage
+transition, `do_i_activate` produced a physically impossible spike (efficiency
+~94 cores on a 192-core box) because it has no minimum-window guard — unlike
+its sibling `cpu_efficiency`, which returns `0.0` if `wall < 0.1s`
+(`obisys::lib.rs:260`). `do_i_activate` unconditionally overwrites
+`self.wall`/`self.user_secs`/`self.sys_secs` even when the elapsed window is
+too short to be meaningful, so a burst of rapid completions right after
+activating a worker can divide a real CPU delta by a near-zero wall delta.
+
+### Implemented: I/O signal + shared debounce guard
+
+`IoSample` (`obisys::lib.rs`, alongside `CpuSample`) is fed by
+`read_bytes`/`write_bytes` from `/proc/self/io` on Linux (actual bytes
+submitted to the block layer — not `rchar`/`wchar`, which also count
+page-cache hits, and not `ru_inblock`/`ru_oublock`, unreliable on macOS), with
+a `proc_pid_rusage(RUSAGE_INFO_V4)` fallback on macOS
+(`ri_diskio_bytesread`/`ri_diskio_byteswritten`, FFI only via `libc`, no new
+dependency — same pattern as the existing `getrusage` bindings). Any other
+target degrades gracefully to a signal that never triggers (falls back to
+CPU-only activation), same pattern as `cgroup_v2_available`.
+
+`maybe_activate` (`numa.rs`) activates a worker if *either* signal still shows
+headroom, making `PartitionRunner` adapt to whichever resource is actually the
+bottleneck without per-call configuration. Both samplers are called
+unconditionally — no `||` short-circuit — so neither window starves behind
+whichever signal fires first:
+
+```rust
+let cpu_threshold = CPU_SPAWN_THRESHOLD * activation.last_step() as f64;
+let cpu_wants_more = cpu_sample.do_i_activate(cpu_threshold);
+let io_wants_more  = io_sample.do_i_activate(IO_SPAWN_THRESHOLD);
+if cpu_wants_more || io_wants_more {
+    activation.grow(GROWTH_DIVISOR, n_total);
+}
+```
+
+The CPU threshold is *not* the flat absolute delta it started as: it scales
+with `activation.last_step()` — the number of workers activated in the last
+growth step, tracked by `NodeActivation` (`numa.rs`) and updated every time
+`grow()` actually grows something. Growing by 8 workers should add ~8 cores of
+efficiency if the workload is truly CPU-bound; requiring only
+`CPU_SPAWN_THRESHOLD` (20 %) of that expected gain confirms the growth was
+useful without demanding perfect linear scaling. Scaling by the *last step's
+size* rather than the cumulative total keeps the bar equally meaningful
+whether it's the 2nd growth step or the 20th — a flat absolute threshold
+(0.2 core) is a strong signal at 8 active workers but pure noise at 150; a
+threshold scaled by the *cumulative* total instead (considered and rejected)
+would have made the bar essentially impossible to clear late in the ramp,
+strangling exactly the CPU-bound saturation the mechanism exists to allow.
+
+Unlike the CPU signal (an absolute delta in cores — a bounded, portable unit),
+raw I/O throughput has no natural scale across devices, so `IoSample` uses a
+**relative** growth threshold instead of an absolute one:
+
+```rust
+pub fn do_i_activate(&mut self, threshold: f64) -> bool {
+    let elapsed = self.wall.elapsed().as_secs_f64();
+    if elapsed < 0.1 { return false; }        // state untouched — window keeps accumulating
+
+    let n = Self::read_bytes();
+    let rate = n.saturating_sub(self.bytes) as f64 / elapsed;
+    let activate = if self.previous_rate == 0.0 {
+        rate > 0.0                            // bootstrap: any measured throughput is signal
+    } else {
+        (rate - self.previous_rate) / self.previous_rate >= threshold
+    };
+
+    self.bytes = n;
+    self.wall  = Instant::now();              // reset only on a real sample
+    activate
+}
+```
+
+The `elapsed < 0.1s → return false without mutating state` guard was also
+back-ported into `CpuSample::do_i_activate` (previously missing — source of
+the ~94-core artefact above) — one fix for both problems, and it removes the
+need for any arbitrary I/O-rate floor: a short/noisy window is rejected
+outright rather than papered over with a hardware-dependent constant.
+
+Both spawn thresholds (`CPU_SPAWN_THRESHOLD`, `IO_SPAWN_THRESHOLD`, module-level
+`const` in `numa.rs`, both `0.2`) are a starting point, not a derived value:
+`0.2` (20 % relative growth) for `IoSample` was chosen to match the CPU
+threshold's *implicit* relative sensitivity (in the observed log, an 8→9
+worker step raised efficiency by ~12 %) — but I/O throughput is lumpier than
+CPU time (buffered writes flush in bursts), so it needs empirical validation
+against a real `pack` run before being considered final.
+
+## Known issue: ramp-up too slow, and confused with node count
+
+The original design started `n_nodes` workers (one per node) and grew one
+worker at a time. On a real `filter` run this took ~10 minutes to climb from
+9 to ~40 active workers even on the CPU-bound `rebuild` stage — most of a
+35-minute stage spent under-provisioned while waiting for evidence to
+accumulate one worker at a time. There is no scale-down mechanism (`n_active`
+only grows), so the original caution was deliberate — but a quarter of
+available cores is still far from saturation, and the real risk zone (over-provisioning
+a memory-bandwidth-bound stage) only shows up much later in the ramp, near
+full occupancy — not at 25 %.
+
+The fix decouples ramp speed from node *count*: both the initial size and the
+growth step are a fraction of `workers_per_node` (node *size*), applied
+identically on every node. A single-NUMA-node (UMA) machine ramps exactly as
+fast as an 8-node one — growing by `n_nodes` per step, as first considered,
+would have degenerated to "grow by 1" on UMA, reproducing the original
+problem for exactly the machines that need the fix most.
+
+```rust
+// NodeActivation::grow — called both at startup (activate_initial) and on
+// every CPU/IO-triggered growth step, with a different divisor each time.
+let wanted = (self.caps[idx] / divisor).max(1);   // INITIAL_DIVISOR=4 at startup, GROWTH_DIVISOR=8 per step
+let room   = self.caps[idx].saturating_sub(self.active[idx]);
+let grow   = wanted.min(room).min(n_total.saturating_sub(self.total));
+```
+
+This also fixed a latent correctness gap: the original single shared
+`activate_tx`/`activate_rx` pair had *no* per-node addressing — sending one
+activation signal woke up whichever dormant worker (from any node) happened
+to win the race on that channel. `crossbeam_channel` gives no fairness
+guarantee across competing receivers, so "round-robin across nodes" was an
+assumption the code never actually enforced. `PartitionRunner::run` now opens
+one activation channel per node (`activate_txs`/`activate_rxs`, one pair per
+`NodeConfig`); `NodeActivation` (`numa.rs`) tracks how many of each node's
+dormant workers have been woken and grows every node by the same amount per
+step, capped by that node's remaining dormant workers and by the run's total
+budget (`n_total`) — balance across nodes is now guaranteed by construction,
+not incidental to channel implementation details.
+
 ## Open questions
 
 - **Error handling**: `run` currently returns the first error; remaining errors
   are dropped.  A `Vec<E>` return would give complete diagnostics.
 
-- **`workers_per_node` tuning**: currently `(cpus / 8).max(3).min(8)`, calibrated
+- **`INITIAL_DIVISOR` / `GROWTH_DIVISOR` tuning**: currently `4` and `8`
-  for merge on BeeGFS.  I/O-bound commands (`dump`, `select`) may benefit from
+  (start at 1/4 of a node's cores, grow by 1/8 per step), chosen to fix an
-  a higher value.  A per-call override could be added to the API.
+  observed too-slow ramp — not yet validated against a real `pack` (I/O-bound)
+  run, where over-provisioning risk is different from the CPU-bound `rebuild`
+  case this was tuned against.
 
 - **`on_done` ordering**: the runner serialises calls to `on_done` via an
   internal `Arc<Mutex<C>>`.  `Send` is required (the Arc clone crosses thread
