- Updated internal batching logic across core modules to consistently apply default memory (128 MB) and size (min: 1, max: 2000) bounds.
### Linux Build Enhancements
- Enabled static linking for Linux binaries using musl, producing portable, self-contained executables without external dependencies.
### Build System & Toolchain Improvements
- Updated Go toolchain to 1.26.1 with corresponding dependency bumps (e.g., go-getoptions, gval, regexp2, go-json, progressbar, logrus, testify).
- Fixed Makefile to safely quote LDFLAGS for paths with spaces.
- Improved build error handling: on failure, logs are displayed before cleanup and exit.
- Updated install script to correctly set GOROOT, GOPATH, and GOTOOLCHAIN, ensuring GOPATH directory creation.

### Memory-Aware Batching
- Replaced single batch size limits with configurable min/max bounds and memory limits for more precise control over resource usage.
- Added `--batch-mem` CLI option to enable adaptive batching based on estimated sequence memory footprint (e.g., 128K, 64M, 1G).

### Linux Build Enhancements
- Enabled static linking for Linux binaries using musl, producing portable, self-contained executables without external dependencies.
### Notes
- This release consolidates and improves batching behavior introduced in 4.4.20, with no breaking changes to the public API.
- All user-facing batching behavior is now governed by consistent memory and count constraints, improving predictability and stability during large dataset processing.
Replace calls to Rebatch(size) with RebatchBySize(obidefault.BatchMem(), obidefault.BatchSizeMax()) in batchiterator.go, fragment.go, and obirefidx.go to ensure consistent use of default memory and size limits for batch rebatching.
Introduce separate _BatchSize (min) and _BatchSizeMax (max) constants to replace the single _BatchSize variable. Update RebatchBySize to accept both maxBytes and maxCount parameters, flushing when either limit is exceeded. Set default batch size min to 1, max to 2000, and memory limit to 128 MB. Update CLI options and sequence_reader.go accordingly.
Implement memory-aware batch sizing with --batch-mem CLI option, enabling adaptive batching based on estimated sequence memory footprint. Key changes:
- Added _BatchMem and related getters/setters in pkg/obidefault
- Implemented RebatchBySize() in pkg/obiter for memory-constrained batching
- Added BioSequence.MemorySize() for conservative memory estimation
- Integrated batch-mem option in pkg/obioptions with human-readable size parsing (e.g., 128K, 64M, 1G)
- Added obiutils.ParseMemSize/FormatMemSize for unit conversion
- Enhanced pool GC in pkg/obiseq/pool.go to trigger explicit GC for large slice discards
- Updated sequence_reader.go to apply memory-based rebatching when enabled
