4.4.25: Static Linux Builds, Memory-Aware Batching, and Build Stability

### Static Linux Builds
- Added `CGO_CFLAGS` environment variable to the release workflow for consistent static linking on Linux, ensuring portable, self-contained executables.
- Updated `go.work.sum` with the new dependency `golang.org/x/net v0.38.0`.
- Removed obsolete logs archive file from the distribution.

### Memory-Aware Batching (Introduced in 4.4.23, now stable)
- Users can now control batching behavior using `--batch-mem` to specify memory limits (e.g., `128K`, `64M`, `1G`), enabling adaptive batching based on sequence data size.
- Batching now respects both byte and record count limits, flushing batches when either threshold is exceeded.
- Conservative memory estimation for sequences (`BioSequence.MemorySize()`) and explicit garbage collection after large batch discards improve resource predictability.
- Default constraints remain non-breaking: minimum 1, maximum 2000 records per batch with a default memory limit of 128 MB.

### Build System Improvements
- Updated Go toolchain to 1.26.1 and bumped key dependencies for security and performance.
- Fixed Makefile quoting for `LDFLAGS` to safely handle paths containing spaces.
- Enhanced build failure handling: error logs are now displayed before cleanup, aiding diagnostics.
- The install script now correctly configures `GOROOT`, `GOPATH`, and `GOTOOLCHAIN`, creates the GOPATH directory, and shows a progress bar during downloads.

+# Plan de refonte du package obikmer : index disk-based par partitions minimizer
+
+## Constat
+
+Les roaring64 bitmaps ne sont pas adaptés au stockage de 10^10 k-mers
+(k=31) dispersés sur un espace de 2^62. L'overhead structurel (containers
+roaring par high key 32 bits) dépasse la taille des données elles-mêmes,
+et les opérations `Or()` entre bitmaps fragmentés ne terminent pas en
+temps raisonnable.
+
+## Principe de la nouvelle architecture
+
+Un `KmerSet` est un ensemble trié de k-mers canoniques (uint64) stocké
+sur disque, partitionné par minimizer. Chaque partition est un fichier
+binaire contenant des uint64 triés, compressés par delta-varint.
+
+Un `KmerSetGroup` est un répertoire contenant N ensembles partitionnés
+de la même façon (même k, même m, même P).
+
+Un `KmerSet` est un `KmerSetGroup` de taille 1 (singleton).
+
+Les opérations ensemblistes se font partition par partition, en merge
+streaming, sans charger l'index complet en mémoire.
+
+## Cycle de vie d'un index
+
+L'index a deux phases distinctes :
+
+1. **Phase de construction (mutable)** : on ouvre un index, on y ajoute
+   des séquences. Pour chaque séquence, les super-kmers sont extraits
+   et écrits de manière compacte (2 bits/base) dans le fichier
+   temporaire de partition correspondant (`minimizer % P`). Les
+   super-kmers sont une représentation compressée naturelle des k-mers
+   chevauchants : un super-kmer de longueur L encode L-k+1 k-mers en
+   ne stockant que ~L/4 bytes au lieu de (L-k+1) × 8 bytes.
+
+2. **Phase de clôture (optimisation)** : on ferme l'index, ce qui
+   déclenche le traitement **partition par partition** (indépendant,
+   parallélisable) :
+   - Charger les super-kmers de la partition
+   - En extraire tous les k-mers canoniques
+   - Trier le tableau de k-mers
+   - Dédupliquer (et compter si FrequencyFilter)
+   - Delta-encoder et écrire le fichier .kdi final
+   Après clôture, l'index est statique et immuable.
+
+3. **Phase de lecture (immutable)** : opérations ensemblistes,
+   Jaccard, Quorum, Contains, itération. Toutes en streaming.

+    set_1/
+      ...
+```
+
+Le répertoire `.build/` est supprimé après Close().

+organism = "Triticum aestivum"
+
+[sets_metadata]
+# métadonnées individuelles par set si nécessaire
+```
+
+### Fichier .kdi (Kmer Delta Index)
+
+Format binaire :
+
+```
+[magic: 4 bytes "KDI\x01"]
+[count: uint64 little-endian]       # nombre de k-mers dans cette partition
+[first: uint64 little-endian]       # premier k-mer (valeur absolue)
+[delta_1: varint]                   # arr[1] - arr[0]
+[delta_2: varint]                   # arr[2] - arr[1]
+...
+[delta_{count-1}: varint]           # arr[count-1] - arr[count-2]
+```
+
+Varint : encoding unsigned, 7 bits utiles par byte, bit de poids fort
+= continuation (identique au varint protobuf).
+
+Fichier vide (partition sans k-mer) : magic + count=0.
+
+### Fichier .skm (Super-Kmer temporaire)
+
+Format binaire, séquence de super-kmers encodés :
+
+```
+[len: uint16 little-endian]         # longueur du super-kmer en bases
+[sequence: ceil(len/4) bytes]       # séquence encodée 2 bits/base, packed
+...
+```
+
+**Compression par rapport au stockage de k-mers bruts** :
+
+Un super-kmer de longueur L contient L-k+1 k-mers.
+- Stockage super-kmer : 2 + ceil(L/4) bytes
+- Stockage k-mers bruts : (L-k+1) × 8 bytes
+
+Exemple avec k=31, super-kmer typique L=50 :
+- Super-kmer : 2 + 13 = 15 bytes → encode 20 k-mers
+- K-mers bruts : 20 × 8 = 160 bytes
+- **Facteur de compression : ~10×**
+
+Pour un génome de 10 Gbases (~10^10 k-mers bruts) :
+- K-mers bruts : ~80 Go par set temporaire
+- Super-kmers : **~8 Go** par set temporaire
+
+Avec FrequencyFilter et couverture 30× :
+- K-mers bruts : ~2.4 To
+- Super-kmers : **~240 Go**
+
+---
+
+## FrequencyFilter
+
+Le FrequencyFilter n'est plus un type de données séparé. C'est un
+**mode de construction** du builder. Le résultat est un KmerSetGroup
+standard.
+
+### Principe
+
+Pendant la construction, tous les super-kmers sont écrits dans les
+fichiers temporaires .skm, y compris les doublons (chaque occurrence
+de chaque séquence est écrite).
+
+Pendant Close(), pour chaque partition :
+1. Charger tous les super-kmers de la partition
+2. Extraire tous les k-mers canoniques dans un tableau []uint64
+3. Trier le tableau
+4. Parcourir linéairement : les k-mers identiques sont consécutifs
+5. Compter les occurrences de chaque k-mer
+6. Si count >= minFreq → écrire dans le .kdi final (une seule fois)
+7. Sinon → ignorer
+
+### Dimensionnement
+
+Pour un génome de 10 Gbases avec couverture 30× :
+- N_brut ≈ 3×10^11 k-mers bruts
+- Espace temporaire .skm ≈ 240 Go (compressé super-kmer)
+- RAM par partition pendant Close() :
+  Avec P=1024 : ~3×10^8 k-mers/partition × 8 = **~2.4 Go**
+  Avec P=4096 : ~7.3×10^7 k-mers/partition × 8 = **~600 Mo**
+
+Le choix de P détermine le compromis nombre de fichiers vs RAM par
+partition.
+
+### Sans FrequencyFilter (déduplication simple)
+
+Pour de la déduplication simple (chaque k-mer écrit une fois), le
+builder peut dédupliquer au niveau des buffers en RAM avant flush.
+Cela réduit significativement l'espace temporaire car les doublons
+au sein d'un même buffer (provenant de séquences proches) sont
+éliminés immédiatement.

+# Optimisation du parsing des grandes séquences
+
+## Contexte
+
+OBITools4 doit pouvoir traiter des séquences de taille chromosomique (plusieurs Gbp), notamment
+issues de fichiers GenBank/EMBL (assemblages de génomes) ou de fichiers FASTA convertis depuis
+ces formats.
+
+## Architecture actuelle
+
+### Pipeline de lecture (`pkg/obiformats/`)
+
+```
+ReadFileChunk (goroutine)
+    → ChannelFileChunk
+    → N × _ParseGenbankFile / _ParseFastaFile (goroutines)
+    → IBioSequence
+```
+
+`ReadFileChunk` (`file_chunk_read.go`) lit le fichier par morceaux via une chaîne de
+`PieceOfChunk` (rope). Chaque nœud fait `fileChunkSize` bytes :
+
+- GenBank/EMBL : 128 MB (`1024*1024*128`)
+- FASTA/FASTQ  : 1 MB (`1024*1024`)
+
+La chaîne est accumulée jusqu'à trouver la fin du dernier enregistrement complet (splitter),
+puis `Pack()` est appelé pour fusionner tous les nœuds en un seul buffer contigu. Ce buffer
+est transmis au parseur via `FileChunk.Raw *bytes.Buffer`.
+
+### Parseur GenBank (`genbank_read.go`)
+
+`GenbankChunkParser` reçoit un `io.Reader` sur le buffer packé, lit ligne par ligne via
+`bufio.NewReader` (buffer 4096 bytes), et pour chaque ligne de la section `ORIGIN` :
+
+```go
+line = string(bline)                        // allocation par ligne
+cleanline := strings.TrimSpace(line)        // allocation
+parts := strings.SplitN(cleanline, " ", 7) // allocation []string + substrings
+for i := 1; i < lparts; i++ {
+    seqBytes.WriteString(parts[i])
+}
+```
+
+Point positif : `seqBytes` est pré-alloué grâce à `lseq` extrait de la ligne `LOCUS`.
+
+### Parseur FASTA (`fastaseq_read.go`)
+
+`FastaChunkParser` lit **octet par octet** via `scanner.ReadByte()`. Pour 3 Gbp :
+3 milliards d'appels. `seqBytes` est un `bytes.Buffer{}` sans pré-allocation.
+
+## Problème principal
+
+Pour une séquence de plusieurs Gbp, `Pack()` fusionne une chaîne de ~N nœuds de 128 MB en
+un seul buffer contigu. C'est une allocation de N × 128 MB suivie d'une copie de toutes les
+données. Bien que l'implémentation de `Pack()` soit efficace (libère les nœuds au fur et à
+mesure via `slices.Grow`), la copie est inévitable avec l'architecture actuelle.
+
+De plus, le parseur GenBank produit des dizaines de millions d'allocations temporaires pour
+parser la section `ORIGIN` (une par ligne).
+
+## Invariant clé découvert
+
+**Si la rope a plus d'un nœud, le premier nœud seul ne se termine pas sur une frontière
+d'enregistrement** (pas de `//\n` en fin de `piece1`).
+
+Preuve par construction dans `ReadFileChunk` :
+- `splitter` est appelé dès le premier nœud (ligne 157)
+- Si `end >= 0` → frontière trouvée dans 128 MB → boucle interne sautée → rope à 1 nœud
+- Si `end < 0` → boucle interne ajoute des nœuds → rope à ≥ 2 nœuds
+
+Corollaire : si rope à 1 nœud, `Pack()` ne fait rien (aucun nœud suivant).
+
+**Attention** : rope à ≥ 2 nœuds ne signifie pas qu'il n'y a qu'une seule séquence dans
+la rope. La rope packée peut contenir plusieurs enregistrements complets. Exemple : records
+de 80 MB → `nextpieces` (48 MB de reste) + nouveau nœud (128 MB) = rope à 2 nœuds
+contenant 2 records complets + début d'un troisième.
+
+L'invariant dit seulement que `piece1` seul est incomplet — pas que la rope entière
+ne contient qu'un seul record.
+
+**Invariant : le dernier FileChunk envoyé finit sur une frontière d'enregistrement.**
+
+Deux chemins dans `ReadFileChunk` :
+
+1. **Chemin normal** (`end >= 0` via `splitter`) : le buffer est explicitement tronqué à
+   `end` (ligne 200 : `pieces.data = pieces.data[:end]`). Frontière garantie par construction
+   pour tous les formats. ✓
+
+2. **Chemin EOF** (`end < 0`, `end = pieces.Len()`) : tout le reste du fichier est envoyé.
+   - **GenBank/EMBL** : présuppose fichier bien formé (se termine par `//\n`). Le parseur
+     lève un `log.Fatalf` sur tout état inattendu — filet de sécurité suffisant. ✓
+   - **FASTQ** : présupposé, vérifié par le parseur. ✓
+   - **FASTA** : garanti par le format lui-même (fin d'enregistrement = EOF ou `>`). ✓
+
+**Hypothèse de travail adoptée** : les fichiers d'entrée sont bien formés. Dans le pire cas,
+le parseur lèvera une erreur explicite. Il n'y a pas de risque de corruption silencieuse.
+
+## Piste d'optimisation : se dispenser de Pack()
+
+### Idée centrale
+
+Au lieu de fusionner la rope avant de la passer au parseur, **parser directement la rope
+nœud par nœud**, et **écrire la séquence compactée in-place dans le premier nœud**.
+
+Pourquoi c'est sûr :
+- Le header (LOCUS, DEFINITION, SOURCE, FEATURES) est **petit** et traité en premier
+- La séquence (ORIGIN) est **à la fin** du record
+- Au moment d'écrire la séquence depuis l'offset 0 de `piece1`, le pointeur de lecture
+  est profond dans la rope (offset >> 0) → jamais de collision
+- La séquence compactée est toujours plus courte que les données brutes
+
+### Pré-allocation
+
+Pour GenBank/EMBL : `lseq` est connu dès la ligne `LOCUS`/`ID` (première ligne, dans
+`piece1`). On peut faire `slices.Grow(piece1.data, lseq)` dès ce moment.
+
+Pour FASTA : pas de taille garantie dans le header, mais `rope.Len()` donne un majorant.
+On peut utiliser `rope.Len() / 2` comme estimation initiale.
+
+### Gestion des jonctions entre nœuds
+
+Une ligne peut chevaucher deux nœuds (rare avec 128 MB, mais possible). Solution : carry
+buffer de ~128 bytes pour les quelques bytes en fin de nœud.
+
+### Cas FASTA/FASTQ multi-séquences
+
+Un FileChunk peut contenir N séquences (notamment FASTA/FASTQ courts). Dans ce cas
+l'écriture in-place dans `piece1` n'est pas applicable directement — on écrase des données
+nécessaires aux séquences suivantes.
+
+Stratégie par cas :
+- **Rope à 1 nœud** (record ≤ 128 MB) : `Pack()` est trivial (no-op), parseur actuel OK
+- **Rope à ≥ 2 nœuds** : par l'invariant, `piece1` ne contient pas de record complet →
+  une seule grande séquence → in-place applicable
+
+### Format d'une ligne séquence GenBank (Après ORIGIN)
+
+```
+/^ *[0-9]+( [nuc]{10}){0,5} [nuc]{1,10}/
+```
+
+### Format d'une ligne séquence GenBank (Après SQ)
+
+La ligne SQ contient aussi la taille de la séquence
+
+```
+/^ *( [nuc]{10}){0,5} [nuc]{1,10} *[0-9]+/
+```
+
+Compactage in-place sur `bline` ([]byte brut, sans conversion `string`) :
+
+```go
+w := 0
+i := 0
+for i < len(bline) && bline[i] == ' '  { i++ }   // skip indentation
+for i < len(bline) && bline[i] <= '9'  { i++ }   // skip position number
+for ; i < len(bline); i++ {
+    if bline[i] != ' ' {
+        bline[w] = bline[i]
+        w++
+    }
+}
+// écrire bline[:w] directement dans piece1.data[seqOffset:]
+```
+
+## Changements nécessaires
+
+1. **`FileChunk`** : exposer la rope `*PieceOfChunk` non-packée en plus (ou à la place)
+   de `Raw *bytes.Buffer`
+2. **`GenbankChunkParser` / `EmblChunkParser`** : accepter `*PieceOfChunk`, parser la
+   rope séquentiellement avec carry buffer pour les jonctions
+3. **`FastaChunkParser`** : idem, avec in-place conditionnel selon taille de la rope
+4. **`ReadFileChunk`** : ne pas appeler `Pack()` avant envoi sur le channel (ou version
+   alternative `ReadFileChunkRope`)
+
+## Fichiers concernés
+
+- `pkg/obiformats/file_chunk_read.go` — structure rope, `ReadFileChunk`
+- `pkg/obiformats/genbank_read.go` — `GenbankChunkParser`, `_ParseGenbankFile`
+- `pkg/obiformats/embl_read.go` — `EmblChunkParser`, `ReadEMBL`
+- `pkg/obiformats/fastaseq_read.go` — `FastaChunkParser`, `_ParseFastaFile`
+- `pkg/obiformats/fastqseq_read.go` — parseur FASTQ (même structure)
+
+## Plan d'implémentation : parseur GenBank sur rope
+
+### Contexte
+
+Baseline mesurée : `obiconvert gbpln640.seq.gz` → 49s real, 42s user, 29s sys, **57 GB RSS**.
+Le sys élevé indique des allocations massives. Deux causes :
+1. `Pack()` : fusionne toute la rope (N × 128 MB) en un buffer contigu avant de parser
+2. Parser ORIGIN : `string(bline)` + `TrimSpace` + `SplitN` × millions de lignes
+
+### 1. `gbRopeScanner`
+
+Struct de lecture ligne par ligne sur la rope, sans allocation heap :
+
+```go
+type gbRopeScanner struct {
+    current *PieceOfChunk
+    pos     int
+    carry   [256]byte  // stack-allocated, max GenBank line = 80 chars
+    carryN  int
+}
+```
+
+`ReadLine()` :
+- Cherche `\n` dans `current.data[pos:]` via `bytes.IndexByte`
+- Si trouvé sans carry : retourne slice direct du node (zéro alloc)
+- Si trouvé avec carry : copie dans carry buffer, retourne `carry[:n]`
+- Si non trouvé : copie le reste dans carry, avance au node suivant, recommence
+- EOF : retourne `carry[:carryN]` puis nil
+
+`extractSequence(dest []byte, UtoT bool) int` :
+- Scan direct des bytes pour section ORIGIN, sans passer par ReadLine
+- Machine d'états : lineStart → skip espaces/digits → copier nucléotides dans dest
+- Stop sur `//` en début de ligne
+- Zéro allocation, UtoT inline
+
+### 2. `GenbankChunkParserRope`
+
+```go
+func GenbankChunkParserRope(source string, rope *PieceOfChunk,
+    withFeatureTable, UtoT bool) (obiseq.BioSequenceSlice, error)
+```
+
+- Même machine d'états que `GenbankChunkParser`, sur `[]byte` (`bytes.HasPrefix`)
+- LOCUS : extrait `id` et `lseq` par scan direct (remplace `_seqlenght_rx`)
+- FEATURES / default inFeature : taxid extrait par scan de `/db_xref="taxon:`
+  dans la source feature ; `featBytes` rempli seulement si `withFeatureTable=true`
+- DEFINITION : toujours conservée
+- ORIGIN : `dest = make([]byte, 0, lseq+20)` puis `s.extractSequence(dest, UtoT)`
+
+### 3. Modifications `_ParseGenbankFile` et `ReadGenbank`
+
+`_ParseGenbankFile` utilise `chunk.Rope` :
+```go
+sequences, err := GenbankChunkParserRope(chunk.Source, chunk.Rope, ...)
+```
+
+`ReadGenbank` passe `pack=false` :
+```go
+entry_channel := ReadFileChunk(..., false)
+```
+
+### 4. Ce qui NE change pas
+
+- `GenbankChunkParser` reste (référence, tests)
+- `ReadFileChunk`, `Pack()`, autres parseurs (EMBL, FASTA, FASTQ) : inchangés
+
+### 5. Gains attendus
+
+- **RSS** : pic ≈ 128 MB × workers (au lieu de N × 128 MB)
+- **Temps sys** : élimination des mmap/munmap pour les gros buffers
+- **Temps user** : ~50M allocations éliminées
+
+### 6. Vérification
+
+```bash
+/usr/local/go/bin/go build ./...
+diff <(obiconvert gbpln640.seq.gz) gbpln640.reference.fasta
+cd bugs/genbank && ./benchmark.sh gbpln640.seq.gz
+```
+
+Cible : RSS < 1 GB, temps comparable ou meilleur.

+# Architecture d'une commande OBITools
+
+## Vue d'ensemble
+
+Une commande OBITools suit une architecture modulaire et standardisée qui sépare clairement les responsabilités entre :
+- Le package de la commande dans `pkg/obitools/<nom_commande>/`
+- L'exécutable dans `cmd/obitools/<nom_commande>/`
+
+Cette architecture favorise la réutilisabilité du code, la testabilité et la cohérence entre les différentes commandes de la suite OBITools.

+
+## Composants de l'architecture
+
+### 1. Package `pkg/obitools/<commande>/`
+
+Chaque commande possède son propre package dans `pkg/obitools/` qui contient l'implémentation complète de la logique métier. Ce package est structuré en plusieurs fichiers :
+
+#### a) `options.go` - Gestion des options CLI
+
+Ce fichier définit :
+- Les **variables globales** privées (préfixées par `_`) stockant les valeurs des options
+- La fonction **`OptionSet()`** qui configure toutes les options pour la commande
+- Les fonctions **`CLI*()`** qui retournent les valeurs des options (getters)
+- Les fonctions **`Set*()`** qui permettent de définir les options programmatiquement (setters)
+
+**Exemple (obiuniq/options.go) :**
+
+```go
+package obiuniq
+
+import (
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obitools/obiconvert"
+    "github.com/DavidGamba/go-getoptions"
+)
+
+// Variables globales privées pour stocker les options
+var _StatsOn = make([]string, 0, 10)
+var _Keys = make([]string, 0, 10)
+var _InMemory = false
+var _chunks = 100
+
+// Configuration des options spécifiques à la commande
+func UniqueOptionSet(options *getoptions.GetOpt) {
+    options.StringSliceVar(&_StatsOn, "merge", 1, 1,
+        options.Alias("m"),
+        options.ArgName("KEY"),
+        options.Description("Adds a merged attribute..."))
+    
+    options.BoolVar(&_InMemory, "in-memory", _InMemory,
+        options.Description("Use memory instead of disk..."))
+    
+    options.IntVar(&_chunks, "chunk-count", _chunks,
+        options.Description("In how many chunks..."))
+}
+
+// OptionSet combine les options de base + les options spécifiques
+func OptionSet(options *getoptions.GetOpt) {
+    obiconvert.OptionSet(false)(options)  // Options de base
+    UniqueOptionSet(options)              // Options spécifiques
+}
+
+// Getters pour accéder aux valeurs des options
+func CLIStatsOn() []string {
+    return _StatsOn
+}
+
+func CLIUniqueInMemory() bool {
+    return _InMemory
+}
+
+// Setters pour définir les options programmatiquement
+func SetUniqueInMemory(inMemory bool) {
+    _InMemory = inMemory
+}
+```
+
+**Convention de nommage :**
+- Variables privées : `_NomOption` (underscore préfixe)
+- Getters : `CLINomOption()` (préfixe CLI)
+- Setters : `SetNomOption()` (préfixe Set)
+
+#### b) Fichier(s) d'implémentation
+
+Un ou plusieurs fichiers contenant la logique métier de la commande :
+
+**Exemple (obiuniq/unique.go) :**
+
+```go
+package obiuniq
+
+import (
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obiiter"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obichunk"
+)
+
+// Fonction CLI principale qui orchestre le traitement
+func CLIUnique(sequences obiiter.IBioSequence) obiiter.IBioSequence {
+    // Récupération des options via les getters CLI*()
+    options := make([]obichunk.WithOption, 0, 30)
+    
+    options = append(options,
+        obichunk.OptionBatchCount(CLINumberOfChunks()),
+    )
+    
+    if CLIUniqueInMemory() {
+        options = append(options, obichunk.OptionSortOnMemory())
+    } else {
+        options = append(options, obichunk.OptionSortOnDisk())
+    }
+    
+    // Appel de la fonction de traitement réelle
+    iUnique, err := obichunk.IUniqueSequence(sequences, options...)
+    
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+    
+    return iUnique
+}
+```
+
+**Autres exemples d'implémentation :**
+
+- **obimicrosat/microsat.go** : Contient `MakeMicrosatWorker()` et `CLIAnnotateMicrosat()`
+- **obisummary/obisummary.go** : Contient `ISummary()` et les structures de données
+
+#### c) Fichiers utilitaires (optionnel)
+
+Certaines commandes ont des fichiers additionnels pour des fonctionnalités spécifiques.
+
+**Exemple (obipairing/options.go) :**
+
+```go
+// Fonction spéciale pour créer un itérateur de séquences pairées
+func CLIPairedSequence() (obiiter.IBioSequence, error) {
+    forward, err := obiconvert.CLIReadBioSequences(_ForwardFile)
+    if err != nil {
+        return obiiter.NilIBioSequence, err
+    }
+    
+    reverse, err := obiconvert.CLIReadBioSequences(_ReverseFile)
+    if err != nil {
+        return obiiter.NilIBioSequence, err
+    }
+    
+    paired := forward.PairTo(reverse)
+    return paired, nil
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Package `obiconvert` - La base commune
+
+Le package `obiconvert` est spécial car il fournit les fonctionnalités de base utilisées par toutes les autres commandes :
+
+#### Fonctionnalités fournies :
+
+1. **Lecture de séquences** (`sequence_reader.go`)
+   - `CLIReadBioSequences()` : lecture depuis fichiers ou stdin
+   - Support de multiples formats (FASTA, FASTQ, EMBL, GenBank, etc.)
+   - Gestion des fichiers multiples
+   - Barre de progression optionnelle
+
+2. **Écriture de séquences** (`sequence_writer.go`)
+   - `CLIWriteBioSequences()` : écriture vers fichiers ou stdout
+   - Support de multiples formats
+   - Gestion des lectures pairées
+   - Compression optionnelle
+
+3. **Options communes** (`options.go`)
+   - Options d'entrée (format, skip, etc.)
+   - Options de sortie (format, fichier, compression)
+   - Options de mode (barre de progression, etc.)
+
+#### Utilisation par les autres commandes :
+
+Toutes les commandes incluent les options de `obiconvert` via :
+
+```go
+func OptionSet(options *getoptions.GetOpt) {
+    obiconvert.OptionSet(false)(options)  // false = pas de fichiers pairés
+    MaCommandeOptionSet(options)          // Options spécifiques
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Exécutable `cmd/obitools/<commande>/main.go`
+
+Le fichier `main.go` de chaque commande est volontairement **minimaliste** et suit toujours le même pattern :
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "os"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obidefault"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obioptions"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obitools/obiconvert"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obitools/macommande"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obiutils"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // 1. Configuration optionnelle de paramètres par défaut
+    obidefault.SetBatchSize(10)
+    
+    // 2. Génération du parser d'options
+    optionParser := obioptions.GenerateOptionParser(
+        "macommande",                    // Nom de la commande
+        "description de la commande",    // Description
+        macommande.OptionSet)            // Fonction de configuration des options
+    
+    // 3. Parsing des arguments
+    _, args := optionParser(os.Args)
+    
+    // 4. Lecture des séquences d'entrée
+    sequences, err := obiconvert.CLIReadBioSequences(args...)
+    obiconvert.OpenSequenceDataErrorMessage(args, err)
+    
+    // 5. Traitement spécifique de la commande
+    resultat := macommande.CLITraitement(sequences)
+    
+    // 6. Écriture des résultats
+    obiconvert.CLIWriteBioSequences(resultat, true)
+    
+    // 7. Attente de la fin du pipeline
+    obiutils.WaitForLastPipe()
+}
+```
+
+## Patterns architecturaux
+
+### Pattern 1 : Pipeline de traitement de séquences
+
+La plupart des commandes suivent ce pattern :
+
+```
+Lecture → Traitement → Écriture
+```
+
+**Exemples :**
+- **obiconvert** : Lecture → Écriture (conversion de format)
+- **obiuniq** : Lecture → Déréplication → Écriture
+- **obimicrosat** : Lecture → Annotation → Filtrage → Écriture
+
+### Pattern 2 : Traitement avec entrées multiples
+
+Certaines commandes acceptent plusieurs fichiers d'entrée :
+
+**obipairing** :
+```
+Lecture Forward + Lecture Reverse → Pairing → Assemblage → Écriture
+```
+
+### Pattern 3 : Traitement sans écriture de séquences
+
+**obisummary** : produit un résumé JSON/YAML au lieu de séquences
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    // ... parsing options et lecture ...
+    
+    summary := obisummary.ISummary(fs, obisummary.CLIMapSummary())
+    
+    // Formatage et affichage direct
+    if obisummary.CLIOutFormat() == "json" {
+        output, _ := json.MarshalIndent(summary, "", "  ")
+        fmt.Print(string(output))
+    } else {
+        output, _ := yaml.Marshal(summary)
+        fmt.Print(string(output))
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 4 : Utilisation de Workers
+
+Les commandes qui transforment des séquences utilisent souvent le pattern Worker :
+
+```go
+// Création d'un worker
+worker := MakeMicrosatWorker(
+    CLIMinUnitLength(),
+    CLIMaxUnitLength(),
+    // ... autres paramètres
+)
+
+// Application du worker sur l'itérateur
+newIter = iterator.MakeIWorker(
+    worker, 
+    false,                              // merge results
+    obidefault.ParallelWorkers()        // parallélisation
+)
+```
+
+## Étapes d'implémentation d'une nouvelle commande
+
+### Étape 1 : Créer le package dans `pkg/obitools/`
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p pkg/obitools/macommande
+```
+
+### Étape 2 : Créer `options.go`
+
+```go
+package macommande
+
+import (
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obitools/obiconvert"
+    "github.com/DavidGamba/go-getoptions"
+)
+
+// Variables privées pour les options
+var _MonOption = "valeur_par_defaut"
+
+// Configuration des options spécifiques
+func MaCommandeOptionSet(options *getoptions.GetOpt) {
+    options.StringVar(&_MonOption, "mon-option", _MonOption,
+        options.Alias("o"),
+        options.Description("Description de l'option"))
+}
+
+// OptionSet combine options de base + spécifiques
+func OptionSet(options *getoptions.GetOpt) {
+    obiconvert.OptionSet(false)(options)  // false si pas de fichiers pairés
+    MaCommandeOptionSet(options)
+}
+
+// Getters
+func CLIMonOption() string {
+    return _MonOption
+}
+
+// Setters
+func SetMonOption(value string) {
+    _MonOption = value
+}
+```
+
+### Étape 3 : Créer le fichier d'implémentation
+
+Créer `macommande.go` (ou un nom plus descriptif) :
+
+```go
+package macommande
+
+import (
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obiiter"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obiseq"
+)
+
+// Fonction de traitement principale
+func CLIMaCommande(sequences obiiter.IBioSequence) obiiter.IBioSequence {
+    // Récupération des options
+    option := CLIMonOption()
+    
+    // Implémentation du traitement
+    // ...
+    
+    return resultat
+}
+```
+
+### Étape 4 : Créer l'exécutable dans `cmd/obitools/`
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p cmd/obitools/macommande
+```
+
+Créer `main.go` :
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "os"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obioptions"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obitools/obiconvert"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obitools/macommande"
+    "git.metabarcoding.org/obitools/obitools4/obitools4/pkg/obiutils"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Parser d'options
+    optionParser := obioptions.GenerateOptionParser(
+        "macommande",
+        "Description courte de ma commande",
+        macommande.OptionSet)
+    
+    _, args := optionParser(os.Args)
+    
+    // Lecture
+    sequences, err := obiconvert.CLIReadBioSequences(args...)
+    obiconvert.OpenSequenceDataErrorMessage(args, err)
+    
+    // Traitement
+    resultat := macommande.CLIMaCommande(sequences)
+    
+    // Écriture
+    obiconvert.CLIWriteBioSequences(resultat, true)
+    
+    // Attente
+    obiutils.WaitForLastPipe()
+}
+```
+
+### Étape 5 : Configurations optionnelles
+
+Dans `main.go`, avant le parsing des options, on peut configurer :
+
+```go
+// Taille des batchs de séquences
+obidefault.SetBatchSize(10)
+
+// Nombre de workers en lecture (strict)
+obidefault.SetStrictReadWorker(2)
+
+// Nombre de workers en écriture
+obidefault.SetStrictWriteWorker(2)
+
+// Désactiver la lecture des qualités
+obidefault.SetReadQualities(false)
+```
+
+### Étape 6 : Gestion des erreurs
+
+Utiliser les fonctions utilitaires pour les messages d'erreur cohérents :
+
+```go
+// Pour les erreurs d'ouverture de fichiers
+obiconvert.OpenSequenceDataErrorMessage(args, err)
+
+// Pour les erreurs générales
+if err != nil {
+    log.Errorf("Message d'erreur: %v", err)
+    os.Exit(1)
+}
+```
+
+### Étape 7 : Tests et debugging (optionnel)
+
+Des commentaires dans le code montrent comment activer le profiling :
+
+```go
+// go tool pprof -http=":8000" ./macommande ./cpu.pprof
+// f, err := os.Create("cpu.pprof")
+// if err != nil {
+//     log.Fatal(err)
+// }
+// pprof.StartCPUProfile(f)
+// defer pprof.StopCPUProfile()
+
+// go tool trace cpu.trace
+// ftrace, err := os.Create("cpu.trace")
+// if err != nil {
+//     log.Fatal(err)
+// }
+// trace.Start(ftrace)
+// defer trace.Stop()
+```
+
+## Bonnes pratiques observées
+
+### 1. Séparation des responsabilités
+
+- **`main.go`** : orchestration minimale
+- **`options.go`** : définition et gestion des options
+- **Fichiers d'implémentation** : logique métier
+
+### 2. Convention de nommage cohérente
+
+- Variables d'options : `_NomOption`
+- Getters CLI : `CLINomOption()`
+- Setters : `SetNomOption()`
+- Fonctions de traitement CLI : `CLITraitement()`
+
+### 3. Réutilisation du code
+
+- Toutes les commandes réutilisent `obiconvert` pour l'I/O
+- Les options communes sont partagées
+- Les fonctions utilitaires sont centralisées
+
+### 4. Configuration par défaut
+
+Les valeurs par défaut sont :
+- Définies lors de l'initialisation des variables
+- Modifiables via les options CLI
+- Modifiables programmatiquement via les setters
+
+### 5. Gestion des formats
+
+Support automatique de multiples formats :
+- FASTA / FASTQ (avec compression gzip)
+- EMBL / GenBank
+- ecoPCR
+- CSV
+- JSON (avec différents formats d'en-têtes)
+
+### 6. Parallélisation
+
+Les commandes utilisent les workers parallèles via :
+- `obidefault.ParallelWorkers()`
+- `obidefault.SetStrictReadWorker(n)`
+- `obidefault.SetStrictWriteWorker(n)`
+
+### 7. Logging cohérent
+
+Utilisation de `logrus` pour tous les logs :
+```go
+log.Printf("Message informatif")
+log.Errorf("Message d'erreur: %v", err)
+log.Fatal(err)  // Arrêt du programme
+```
+
+## Dépendances principales
+
+### Packages internes OBITools
+
+- `pkg/obidefault` : valeurs par défaut et configuration globale
+- `pkg/obioptions` : génération du parser d'options
+- `pkg/obiiter` : itérateurs de séquences biologiques
+- `pkg/obiseq` : structures et fonctions pour séquences biologiques
+- `pkg/obiformats` : lecture/écriture de différents formats
+- `pkg/obiutils` : fonctions utilitaires diverses
+- `pkg/obichunk` : traitement par chunks (pour dereplication, etc.)
+
+### Packages externes
+
+- `github.com/DavidGamba/go-getoptions` : parsing des options CLI
+- `github.com/sirupsen/logrus` : logging structuré
+- `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` : encodage/décodage YAML
+- `github.com/dlclark/regexp2` : expressions régulières avancées
+
+## Cas spéciaux
+
+### Commande avec fichiers pairés (obipairing)
+
+```go
+func OptionSet(options *getoptions.GetOpt) {
+    obiconvert.OutputOptionSet(options)
+    obiconvert.InputOptionSet(options)
+    PairingOptionSet(options)  // Options spécifiques au pairing
+}
+
+func CLIPairedSequence() (obiiter.IBioSequence, error) {
+    forward, err := obiconvert.CLIReadBioSequences(_ForwardFile)
+    // ...
+    reverse, err := obiconvert.CLIReadBioSequences(_ReverseFile)
+    // ...
+    paired := forward.PairTo(reverse)
+    return paired, nil
+}
+```
+
+Dans `main.go` :
+```go
+pairs, err := obipairing.CLIPairedSequence()  // Lecture spéciale
+if err != nil {
+    log.Errorf("Cannot open file (%v)", err)
+    os.Exit(1)
+}
+
+paired := obipairing.IAssemblePESequencesBatch(
+    pairs,
+    obipairing.CLIGapPenality(),
+    // ... autres paramètres
+)
+```
+
+### Commande sans sortie de séquences (obisummary)
+
+Au lieu de `obiconvert.CLIWriteBioSequences()`, affichage direct :
+
+```go
+summary := obisummary.ISummary(fs, obisummary.CLIMapSummary())
+
+if obisummary.CLIOutFormat() == "json" {
+    output, _ := json.MarshalIndent(summary, "", "  ")
+    fmt.Print(string(output))
+} else {
+    output, _ := yaml.Marshal(summary)
+    fmt.Print(string(output))
+}
+fmt.Printf("\n")
+```
+
+### Commande avec Workers personnalisés (obimicrosat)
+
+```go
+func CLIAnnotateMicrosat(iterator obiiter.IBioSequence) obiiter.IBioSequence {
+    // Création du worker
+    worker := MakeMicrosatWorker(
+        CLIMinUnitLength(),
+        CLIMaxUnitLength(),
+        CLIMinUnitCount(),
+        CLIMinLength(),
+        CLIMinFlankLength(),
+        CLIReoriented(),
+    )
+    
+    // Application du worker
+    newIter := iterator.MakeIWorker(
+        worker, 
+        false,                           // pas de merge
+        obidefault.ParallelWorkers(),    // parallélisation
+    )
+    
+    return newIter.FilterEmpty()  // Filtrage des résultats vides
+}
+```

+
+## Conclusion
+
+L'architecture des commandes OBITools est conçue pour :
+
+1. **Maximiser la réutilisation** : `obiconvert` fournit les fonctionnalités communes
+2. **Simplifier l'ajout de nouvelles commandes** : pattern standardisé et minimaliste
+3. **Faciliter la maintenance** : séparation claire des responsabilités
+4. **Garantir la cohérence** : conventions de nommage et structure uniforme
+5. **Optimiser les performances** : parallélisation intégrée et traitement par batch
+
+Cette architecture modulaire permet de créer rapidement de nouvelles commandes tout en maintenant une qualité et une cohérence élevées dans toute la suite OBITools.

+# Définition du super k-mer
+
+## Définition
+
+Un **super k-mer** est une **sous-séquence MAXIMALE** d'une séquence dans laquelle **tous les k-mers consécutifs partagent le même minimiseur**.
+
+### Termes
+
+- **k-mer** : sous-séquence de longueur k
+- **minimiseur** : le plus petit m-mer canonique parmi tous les m-mers d'un k-mer
+- **k-mers consécutifs** : k-mers aux positions i et i+1 (chevauchement de k-1 nucléotides)
+- **MAXIMALE** : ne peut être étendue ni à gauche ni à droite
+
+## RÈGLES ABSOLUES
+
+### RÈGLE 1 : Longueur minimum = k
+
+Un super k-mer contient au minimum k nucléotides.
+
+```
+longueur(super-kmer) >= k
+```
+
+### RÈGLE 2 : Chevauchement obligatoire = k-1
+
+Deux super-kmers consécutifs se chevauchent d'EXACTEMENT k-1 nucléotides.
+
+```
+SK1.End - SK2.Start = k - 1
+```
+
+### RÈGLE 3 : Bijection séquence ↔ minimiseur
+
+Une séquence de super k-mer a UN et UN SEUL minimiseur.
+
+```
+Même séquence → Même minimiseur (TOUJOURS)
+```
+
+**Si vous observez la même séquence avec deux minimiseurs différents, c'est un BUG.**
+
+### RÈGLE 4 : Tous les k-mers partagent le minimiseur
+
+TOUS les k-mers contenus dans un super k-mer ont le même minimiseur.
+
+```
+∀ k-mer K dans SK : minimiseur(K) = SK.minimizer
+```
+
+### RÈGLE 5 : Maximalité
+
+Un super k-mer ne peut pas être étendu.
+
+- Si on ajoute un nucléotide à gauche : le nouveau k-mer a un minimiseur différent
+- Si on ajoute un nucléotide à droite : le nouveau k-mer a un minimiseur différent
+
+## VIOLATIONS INTERDITES
+
+❌ **Super k-mer de longueur < k**
+❌ **Chevauchement ≠ k-1 entre consécutifs**
+❌ **Même séquence avec minimiseurs différents**
+❌ **K-mer dans le super k-mer avec minimiseur différent**
+❌ **Super k-mer extensible (non-maximal)**
+
+## CONSÉQUENCES PRATIQUES
+
+### Pour l'extraction
+
+L'algorithme doit :
+1. Calculer le minimiseur de chaque k-mer
+2. Découper quand le minimiseur change
+3. Assigner au super k-mer le minimiseur commun à tous ses k-mers
+4. Garantir que chaque super k-mer contient au moins k nucléotides
+5. Garantir le chevauchement de k-1 entre consécutifs
+
+### Pour la validation
+
+Si après déduplication (obiuniq) on observe :
+```
+Séquence: ACGT...
+Minimiseurs: {M1, M2}  // plusieurs minimiseurs
+```
+
+C'est la PREUVE d'un bug : l'algorithme a produit cette séquence avec des minimiseurs différents, ce qui viole la RÈGLE 3.
+
+## DIAGNOSTIC DU BUG
+
+**Bug observé** : Même séquence avec minimiseurs différents après obiuniq
+
+**Cause possible** : L'algorithme assigne le mauvais minimiseur OU découpe mal les super-kmers
+
+**Ce que le bug NE PEUT PAS être** :
+- Un problème d'obiuniq (révèle le bug, ne le crée pas)
+- Un problème de chevauchement légitime (k-1 est correct)
+
+**Ce que le bug DOIT être** :
+- Minimiseur mal calculé ou mal assigné
+- Découpage incorrect (mauvais endPos)
+- Copie incorrecte des données

+# Implémentation de la commande obisuperkmer
+
+## Vue d'ensemble
+
+La commande `obisuperkmer` a été implémentée en suivant l'architecture standard des commandes OBITools décrite dans `architecture-commande-obitools.md`. Cette commande permet d'extraire les super k-mers de fichiers de séquences biologiques.
+
+## Qu'est-ce qu'un super k-mer ?
+
+Un super k-mer est une sous-séquence maximale dans laquelle tous les k-mers consécutifs partagent le même minimiseur. Cette décomposition est utile pour :
+- L'indexation efficace de k-mers
+- La réduction de la redondance dans les analyses
+- L'optimisation de la mémoire pour les structures de données de k-mers
+
+## Structure de l'implémentation
+
+### 1. Package `pkg/obitools/obisuperkmer/`
+
+Le package contient trois fichiers :
+
+#### `obisuperkmer.go`
+Documentation du package avec une description de son rôle.
+
+#### `options.go`
+Définit les options de ligne de commande :
+
+```go
+var _KmerSize = 21          // Taille des k-mers (par défaut 21)
+var _MinimizerSize = 11     // Taille des minimiseurs (par défaut 11)
+```
+
+**Options CLI disponibles :**
+- `--kmer-size` / `-k` : Taille des k-mers (entre m+1 et 31)
+- `--minimizer-size` / `-m` : Taille des minimiseurs (entre 1 et k-1)
+
+**Fonctions d'accès :**
+- `CLIKmerSize()` : retourne la taille des k-mers
+- `CLIMinimizerSize()` : retourne la taille des minimiseurs
+- `SetKmerSize(k int)` : définit la taille des k-mers
+- `SetMinimizerSize(m int)` : définit la taille des minimiseurs
+
+#### `superkmer.go`
+Implémente la logique de traitement :
+
+```go
+func CLIExtractSuperKmers(iterator obiiter.IBioSequence) obiiter.IBioSequence
+```
+
+Cette fonction :
+1. Récupère les paramètres k et m depuis les options CLI
+2. Valide les paramètres (m < k, k <= 31, etc.)
+3. Crée un worker utilisant `obikmer.SuperKmerWorker(k, m)`
+4. Applique le worker en parallèle sur l'itérateur de séquences
+5. Retourne un itérateur de super k-mers
+
+### 2. Exécutable `cmd/obitools/obisuperkmer/main.go`
+
+L'exécutable suit le pattern standard minimal :
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    // 1. Génération du parser d'options
+    optionParser := obioptions.GenerateOptionParser(
+        "obisuperkmer",
+        "extract super k-mers from sequence files",
+        obisuperkmer.OptionSet)
+    
+    // 2. Parsing des arguments
+    _, args := optionParser(os.Args)
+    
+    // 3. Lecture des séquences
+    sequences, err := obiconvert.CLIReadBioSequences(args...)
+    obiconvert.OpenSequenceDataErrorMessage(args, err)
+    
+    // 4. Extraction des super k-mers
+    superkmers := obisuperkmer.CLIExtractSuperKmers(sequences)
+    
+    // 5. Écriture des résultats
+    obiconvert.CLIWriteBioSequences(superkmers, true)
+    
+    // 6. Attente de la fin du pipeline
+    obiutils.WaitForLastPipe()
+}
+```
+
+## Utilisation du package `obikmer`
+
+L'implémentation s'appuie sur le package `obikmer` qui fournit :
+
+### `SuperKmerWorker(k int, m int) obiseq.SeqWorker`
+
+Crée un worker qui :
+- Extrait les super k-mers d'une BioSequence
+- Retourne une slice de BioSequence, une par super k-mer
+- Chaque super k-mer contient les attributs suivants :
+
+```go
+// Métadonnées ajoutées à chaque super k-mer :
+{
+    "minimizer_value": uint64,  // Valeur canonique du minimiseur
+    "minimizer_seq": string,    // Séquence ADN du minimiseur
+    "k": int,                   // Taille des k-mers utilisée
+    "m": int,                   // Taille des minimiseurs utilisée
+    "start": int,               // Position de début (0-indexé)
+    "end": int,                 // Position de fin (exclusif)
+    "parent_id": string,        // ID de la séquence parente
+}
+```
+
+### Algorithme sous-jacent
+
+Le package `obikmer` utilise :
+- `IterSuperKmers(seq []byte, k int, m int)` : itérateur sur les super k-mers
+- Une deque monotone pour suivre les minimiseurs dans une fenêtre glissante
+- Complexité temporelle : O(n) où n est la longueur de la séquence
+- Complexité spatiale : O(k-m+1) pour la deque
+
+## Exemple d'utilisation
+
+### Ligne de commande
+
+```bash
+# Extraction avec paramètres par défaut (k=21, m=11)
+obisuperkmer sequences.fasta > superkmers.fasta
+
+# Spécifier les tailles de k-mers et minimiseurs
+obisuperkmer -k 25 -m 13 sequences.fasta -o superkmers.fasta
+
+# Avec plusieurs fichiers d'entrée
+obisuperkmer --kmer-size 31 --minimizer-size 15 file1.fasta file2.fasta > output.fasta
+
+# Format FASTQ en entrée, FASTA en sortie
+obisuperkmer sequences.fastq --fasta-output -o superkmers.fasta
+
+# Avec compression
+obisuperkmer sequences.fasta -o superkmers.fasta.gz --compress
+```
+
+### Exemple de sortie
+
+Pour une séquence d'entrée :
+```
+>seq1
+ACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGT
+```
+
+La sortie contiendra plusieurs super k-mers :
+```
+>seq1_superkmer_0_15 {"minimizer_value":123456,"minimizer_seq":"acgtacgt","k":21,"m":11,"start":0,"end":15,"parent_id":"seq1"}
+ACGTACGTACGTACG
+>seq1_superkmer_8_24 {"minimizer_value":789012,"minimizer_seq":"gtacgtac","k":21,"m":11,"start":8,"end":24,"parent_id":"seq1"}
+TACGTACGTACGTACGT
+```
+
+## Options héritées de `obiconvert`
+
+La commande hérite de toutes les options standard d'OBITools :
+
+### Options d'entrée
+- `--fasta` : forcer le format FASTA
+- `--fastq` : forcer le format FASTQ
+- `--ecopcr` : format ecoPCR
+- `--embl` : format EMBL
+- `--genbank` : format GenBank
+- `--input-json-header` : en-têtes JSON
+- `--input-OBI-header` : en-têtes OBI
+
+### Options de sortie
+- `--out` / `-o` : fichier de sortie (défaut : stdout)
+- `--fasta-output` : sortie en format FASTA
+- `--fastq-output` : sortie en format FASTQ
+- `--json-output` : sortie en format JSON
+- `--output-json-header` : en-têtes JSON en sortie
+- `--output-OBI-header` / `-O` : en-têtes OBI en sortie
+- `--compress` / `-Z` : compression gzip
+- `--skip-empty` : ignorer les séquences vides
+- `--no-progressbar` : désactiver la barre de progression
+
+## Compilation
+
+Pour compiler la commande :
+
+```bash
+cd /chemin/vers/obitools4
+go build -o bin/obisuperkmer ./cmd/obitools/obisuperkmer/
+```
+
+## Tests
+
+Pour tester la commande :
+
+```bash
+# Créer un fichier de test
+echo -e ">test\nACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGT" > test.fasta
+
+# Exécuter obisuperkmer
+obisuperkmer test.fasta
+
+# Vérifier avec des paramètres différents
+obisuperkmer -k 15 -m 7 test.fasta
+```
+
+## Validation des paramètres
+
+La commande valide automatiquement :
+- `1 <= m < k` : le minimiseur doit être plus petit que le k-mer
+- `2 <= k <= 31` : contrainte du codage sur 64 bits
+- `len(sequence) >= k` : la séquence doit être assez longue
+
+En cas de paramètres invalides, la commande affiche une erreur explicite et s'arrête.
+
+## Intégration avec le pipeline OBITools
+
+La commande s'intègre naturellement dans les pipelines OBITools :
+
+```bash
+# Pipeline complet d'analyse
+obiconvert sequences.fastq --fasta-output | \
+  obisuperkmer -k 21 -m 11 | \
+  obiuniq | \
+  obigrep -p "minimizer_value>1000" > filtered_superkmers.fasta
+```
+
+## Parallélisation
+
+La commande utilise automatiquement :
+- `obidefault.ParallelWorkers()` pour le traitement parallèle
+- Les workers sont distribués sur les séquences d'entrée
+- La parallélisation est transparente pour l'utilisateur
+
+## Conformité avec l'architecture OBITools
+
+L'implémentation respecte tous les principes de l'architecture :
+
+✅ Séparation des responsabilités (package + commande)
+✅ Convention de nommage cohérente (CLI*, Set*, _variables)
+✅ Réutilisation de `obiconvert` pour l'I/O
+✅ Options standard partagées
+✅ Pattern Worker pour le traitement
+✅ Validation des paramètres
+✅ Logging avec `logrus`
+✅ Gestion d'erreurs cohérente
+✅ Documentation complète

+# Tests automatisés pour obisuperkmer
+
+## Vue d'ensemble
+
+Des tests automatisés ont été créés pour la commande `obisuperkmer` dans le répertoire `obitests/obitools/obisuperkmer/`. Ces tests suivent le pattern standard utilisé par toutes les commandes OBITools et sont conçus pour être exécutés dans un environnement CI/CD.
+
+## Fichiers créés
+
+```
+obitests/obitools/obisuperkmer/
+├── test.sh                    # Script de test principal (6.7 KB)
+├── test_sequences.fasta       # Données de test (117 bytes)
+└── README.md                  # Documentation (4.1 KB)
+```
+
+### Taille totale : ~11 KB
+
+Cette taille minimale est idéale pour un dépôt Git et des tests CI/CD rapides.
+
+## Jeu de données de test
+
+### Fichier : `test_sequences.fasta` (117 bytes)
+
+Le fichier contient 3 séquences de 32 nucléotides chacune :
+
+```fasta
+>seq1
+ACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGTACGT
+>seq2
+AAAACCCCGGGGTTTTAAAACCCCGGGGTTTT
+>seq3
+ATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCGATCG
+```
+
+#### Justification du choix
+
+1. **seq1** : Motif répétitif simple (ACGT)
+   - Teste l'extraction de super k-mers sur une séquence avec faible complexité
+   - Les minimiseurs devraient être assez réguliers
+
+2. **seq2** : Blocs homopolymères
+   - Teste le comportement avec des régions de très faible complexité
+   - Les minimiseurs varieront entre les blocs A, C, G et T
+
+3. **seq3** : Motif différent (ATCG)
+   - Teste la diversité des super k-mers extraits
+   - Différent de seq1 pour vérifier la distinction
+
+#### Caractéristiques
+
+- **Longueur** : 32 nucléotides par séquence
+- **Taille totale** : 96 nucléotides (3 × 32)
+- **Format** : FASTA avec en-têtes JSON compatibles
+- **Alphabet** : A, C, G, T uniquement (pas de bases ambiguës)
+- **Taille du fichier** : 117 bytes
+
+Avec k=21 (défaut), chaque séquence de 32 bp peut produire :
+- 32 - 21 + 1 = 12 k-mers
+- Plusieurs super k-mers selon les minimiseurs
+
+## Script de test : `test.sh`
+
+### Structure
+
+Le script suit le pattern standard OBITools :
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+TEST_NAME=obisuperkmer
+CMD=obisuperkmer
+
+# Variables et fonctions standard
+TEST_DIR="..."
+OBITOOLS_DIR="..."
+TMPDIR="$(mktemp -d)"
+ntest=0
+success=0
+failed=0
+
+cleanup() { ... }
+log() { ... }
+
+# Tests (12 au total)
+# ...
+
+cleanup
+```
+
+### Tests implémentés
+
+#### 1. Test d'aide (`-h`)
+```bash
+obisuperkmer -h
+```
+Vérifie que la commande peut afficher son aide sans erreur.
+
+#### 2. Extraction basique avec paramètres par défaut
+```bash
+obisuperkmer test_sequences.fasta > output_default.fasta
+```
+Teste l'exécution avec k=21, m=11 (défaut).
+
+#### 3. Vérification de sortie non vide
+```bash
+[ -s output_default.fasta ]
+```
+S'assure que la commande produit un résultat.
+
+#### 4. Comptage des super k-mers
+```bash
+grep -c "^>" output_default.fasta
+```
+Vérifie qu'au moins un super k-mer a été extrait.
+
+#### 5. Présence des métadonnées
+```bash
+grep -q "minimizer_value" output_default.fasta
+grep -q "minimizer_seq" output_default.fasta
+grep -q "parent_id" output_default.fasta
+```
+Vérifie que les attributs requis sont présents.
+
+#### 6. Extraction avec paramètres personnalisés
+```bash
+obisuperkmer -k 15 -m 7 test_sequences.fasta > output_k15_m7.fasta
+```
+Teste la configuration de k et m.
+
+#### 7. Validation des paramètres personnalisés
+```bash
+grep -q '"k":15' output_k15_m7.fasta
+grep -q '"m":7' output_k15_m7.fasta
+```
+Vérifie que les paramètres sont correctement enregistrés.
+
+#### 8. Format de sortie FASTA
+```bash
+obisuperkmer --fasta-output test_sequences.fasta > output_fasta.fasta
+```
+Teste l'option de format explicite.
+
+#### 9. Vérification des IDs
+```bash
+grep "^>" output_default.fasta | grep -q "superkmer"
+```
+S'assure que les IDs contiennent "superkmer".
+
+#### 10. Préservation des IDs parents
+```bash
+grep -q "seq1" output_default.fasta
+grep -q "seq2" output_default.fasta
+grep -q "seq3" output_default.fasta
+```
+Vérifie que les IDs des séquences parentes sont préservés.
+
+#### 11. Option de fichier de sortie (`-o`)
+```bash
+obisuperkmer -o output_file.fasta test_sequences.fasta
+```
+Teste la redirection vers un fichier.
+
+#### 12. Vérification de création du fichier
+```bash
+[ -s output_file.fasta ]
+```
+S'assure que le fichier a été créé.
+
+#### 13. Cohérence des longueurs
+```bash
+# Vérifie que longueur(output) <= longueur(input)
+```
+S'assure que les super k-mers ne sont pas plus longs que l'entrée.

+3. Les tests s'exécutent
+4. Le code de retour indique le succès (0) ou l'échec (1)
+
+### Exemple de configuration CI/CD
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/test.yml ou équivalent
+test-obisuperkmer:
+  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+  steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
+    - name: Build obitools
+      run: make build
+    - name: Test obisuperkmer
+      run: ./obitests/obitools/obisuperkmer/test.sh
+```
+
+### Avantages
+
+✅ **Rapidité** : Données de test minimales (117 bytes)
+✅ **Fiabilité** : Tests reproductibles
+✅ **Isolation** : Utilisation d'un répertoire temporaire
+✅ **Nettoyage automatique** : Pas de fichiers résiduels

+========================================
+## Results of the obisuperkmer tests:
+
+- 12 tests run
+- 12 successfully completed
+- 0 failed tests
+
+Cleaning up the temporary directory...
+
+========================================
+```
+
+## Debugging des tests
+
+### Conserver les fichiers temporaires
+
+Modifier temporairement la fonction `cleanup()` :
+
+```bash
+cleanup() {
+    echo "Temporary directory: $TMPDIR" 1>&2
+    # Commenter cette ligne pour conserver les fichiers
+    # rm -rf "$TMPDIR"
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+### Activer le mode verbose
+
+Ajouter au début du script :
+
+```bash
+set -x  # Active l'affichage de toutes les commandes
+```
+
+### Tester une seule commande
+
+Extraire et exécuter manuellement :
+
+```bash
+export TEST_DIR=/chemin/vers/obitests/obitools/obisuperkmer
+export TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
+obisuperkmer "${TEST_DIR}/test_sequences.fasta" > "${TMPDIR}/output.fasta"
+cat "${TMPDIR}/output.fasta"
+```
+
+## Ajout de nouveaux tests
+
+Pour ajouter un test supplémentaire :
+
+1. Incrémenter le compteur `ntest`
+2. Écrire la condition de test
+3. Logger le succès ou l'échec
+4. Incrémenter le bon compteur
+
+```bash
+((ntest++))
+if ma_nouvelle_commande_de_test
+then
+    log "Description du test: OK" 
+    ((success++))
+else
+    log "Description du test: failed"
+    ((failed++))
+fi
+```
+

-# Filtre de Fréquence avec v Niveaux de Roaring Bitmaps
-
-## Algorithme
-
-```go
-Pour chaque k-mer rencontré dans les données:
-    c = 0
-    tant que (k-mer ∈ index[c] ET c < v):
-        c++
-    
-    si c < v:
-        index[c].insert(k-mer)
-```
-
-**Résultat** : `index[v-1]` contient les k-mers vus **≥ v fois**
-
----
-
-## Exemple d'exécution (v=3)
-
-```
-Données:
-  Read1: kmer X
-  Read2: kmer X
-  Read3: kmer X  (X vu 3 fois)
-  Read4: kmer Y
-  Read5: kmer Y  (Y vu 2 fois)
-  Read6: kmer Z  (Z vu 1 fois)
-
-Exécution:
-
-Read1 (X):
-  c=0: X ∉ index[0] → index[0].add(X)
-  État: index[0]={X}, index[1]={}, index[2]={}
-
-Read2 (X):
-  c=0: X ∈ index[0] → c=1
-  c=1: X ∉ index[1] → index[1].add(X)
-  État: index[0]={X}, index[1]={X}, index[2]={}
-
-Read3 (X):
-  c=0: X ∈ index[0] → c=1
-  c=1: X ∈ index[1] → c=2
-  c=2: X ∉ index[2] → index[2].add(X)
-  État: index[0]={X}, index[1]={X}, index[2]={X}
-
-Read4 (Y):
-  c=0: Y ∉ index[0] → index[0].add(Y)
-  État: index[0]={X,Y}, index[1]={X}, index[2]={X}
-
-Read5 (Y):
-  c=0: Y ∈ index[0] → c=1
-  c=1: Y ∉ index[1] → index[1].add(Y)

-
-Read6 (Z):
-  c=0: Z ∉ index[0] → index[0].add(Z)
-  État: index[0]={X,Y,Z}, index[1]={X,Y}, index[2]={X}
-
-Résultat final:

-  index[2] (freq≥3): {X}  ← K-mers filtrés ✓

----
-
-## Utilisation
-
-```go
-// Créer le filtre
-filter := obikmer.NewFrequencyFilter(31, 3) // k=31, minFreq=3
-
-// Ajouter les séquences
-for _, read := range reads {
-    filter.AddSequence(read)
-}
-
-// Récupérer les k-mers filtrés (freq ≥ 3)
-filtered := filter.GetFilteredSet("filtered")
-fmt.Printf("K-mers de qualité: %d\n", filtered.Cardinality())
-
-// Statistiques
-stats := filter.Stats()
-fmt.Println(stats.String())
-```

-
-## Performance
-
-### Complexité
-
-**Par k-mer** :
-- Lookups : Moyenne ~v/2, pire cas v
-- Insertions : 1 Add
-- **Pas de Remove** ✅
-
-**Total pour n k-mers** :
-- Temps : O(n × v/2)
-- Mémoire : O(unique_kmers × v × 2 bytes)
-
-### Early exit pour distribution skewed
-
-Avec distribution typique (séquençage) :
-```
-80% singletons → 1 lookup (early exit)
-15% freq 2-3   → 2-3 lookups
-5% freq ≥4     → jusqu'à v lookups
-
-Moyenne réelle : ~2 lookups/kmer (au lieu de v/2)
-```
-
----
-
-## Mémoire
-
-### Pour 10^8 k-mers uniques
-
-| v (minFreq) | Nombre bitmaps | Mémoire | vs map simple |
-|-------------|----------------|---------|---------------|
-| v=2 | 2 | ~400 MB | 6x moins |
-| v=3 | 3 | ~600 MB | 4x moins |
-| v=5 | 5 | ~1 GB | 2.4x moins |
-| v=10 | 10 | ~2 GB | 1.2x moins |
-| v=20 | 20 | ~4 GB | ~égal |
-
-**Note** : Avec distribution skewed (beaucoup de singletons), la mémoire réelle est bien plus faible car les niveaux hauts ont peu d'éléments.
-
-### Exemple réaliste (séquençage)
-
-Pour 10^8 k-mers totaux, v=3 :
-```
-Distribution:
-  80% singletons  → 80M dans index[0]
-  15% freq 2-3    → 15M dans index[1]
-  5% freq ≥3      → 5M dans index[2]
-
-Mémoire:
-  index[0]: 80M × 2 bytes = 160 MB
-  index[1]: 15M × 2 bytes = 30 MB
-  index[2]: 5M × 2 bytes = 10 MB
-  Total: ~200 MB ✅
-
-vs map simple: 80M × 24 bytes = ~2 GB
-Réduction: 10x
-```
-
----
-
-## Comparaison des approches
-
-| Approche | Mémoire (10^8 kmers) | Passes | Lookups/kmer | Quand utiliser |
-|----------|----------------------|--------|--------------|----------------|
-| **v-Bitmaps** | **200-600 MB** | **1** | **~2 (avg)** | **Standard** ✅ |
-| Map simple | 2.4 GB | 1 | 1 | Si RAM illimitée |
-| Multi-pass | 400 MB | v | v | Si I/O pas cher |
-
----
-
-## Avantages de v-Bitmaps
-
-✅ **Une seule passe** sur les données  
-✅ **Mémoire optimale** avec Roaring bitmaps  
-✅ **Pas de Remove** (seulement Contains + Add)  
-✅ **Early exit** efficace sur singletons  
-✅ **Scalable** jusqu'à v~10-20  
-✅ **Simple** à implémenter et comprendre

-
-## Cas d'usage typiques
-
-### 1. Éliminer erreurs de séquençage
-
-```go
-filter := obikmer.NewFrequencyFilter(31, 3)
-
-// Traiter FASTQ
-for read := range StreamFastq("sample.fastq") {
-    filter.AddSequence(read)
-}
-
-// K-mers de qualité (pas d'erreurs)
-cleaned := filter.GetFilteredSet("cleaned")
-```
-
-**Résultat** : Élimine 70-80% des k-mers (erreurs)
-
-### 2. Assemblage de génome
-
-```go
-filter := obikmer.NewFrequencyFilter(31, 2)
-
-// Filtrer avant l'assemblage
-for read := range reads {
-    filter.AddSequence(read)
-}
-
-solidKmers := filter.GetFilteredSet("solid")
-// Utiliser solidKmers pour le graphe de Bruijn
-```
-
-### 3. Comparaison de génomes
-
-```go
-collection := obikmer.NewKmerSetCollection(31)
-
-for _, genome := range genomes {
-    filter := obikmer.NewFrequencyFilter(31, 3)
-    filter.AddSequences(genome.Reads)
-    
-    cleaned := filter.GetFilteredSet(genome.ID)
-    collection.Add(cleaned)
-}
-
-// Analyses comparatives sur k-mers de qualité
-matrix := collection.ParallelPairwiseJaccard(8)
-```
-
----
-
-## Limites
-
-**Pour v > 20** :
-- Trop de lookups (v lookups/kmer)
-- Mémoire importante (v × 200MB pour 10^8 kmers)
-
-**Solutions alternatives pour v > 20** :
-- Utiliser map simple (9 bytes/kmer) si RAM disponible
-- Algorithme différent (sketch, probabiliste)
-
----
-
-## Optimisations possibles
-
-### 1. Parallélisation
-
-```go
-// Traiter plusieurs fichiers en parallèle
-filters := make([]*FrequencyFilter, numFiles)
-
-var wg sync.WaitGroup
-for i, file := range files {
-    wg.Add(1)
-    go func(idx int, f string) {
-        defer wg.Done()
-        filters[idx] = ProcessFile(f, k, minFreq)
-    }(i, file)
-}
-wg.Wait()
-
-// Merger les résultats
-merged := MergeFilters(filters)
-```
-
-### 2. Streaming avec seuil adaptatif
-
-```go
-// Commencer avec v=5, réduire progressivement
-filter := obikmer.NewFrequencyFilter(31, 5)
-
-// ... traitement ...
-
-// Si trop de mémoire, réduire à v=3
-if filter.MemoryUsage() > threshold {
-    filter = ConvertToLowerThreshold(filter, 3)
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Récapitulatif final
-
-**Pour filtrer les k-mers par fréquence ≥ v :**
-
-1. **Créer** : `filter := NewFrequencyFilter(k, v)`
-2. **Traiter** : `filter.AddSequence(read)` pour chaque read
-3. **Résultat** : `filtered := filter.GetFilteredSet(id)`
-
-**Mémoire** : ~2v MB par million de k-mers uniques  
-**Temps** : Une seule passe, ~2 lookups/kmer en moyenne  
-**Optimal pour** : v ≤ 20, distribution skewed (séquençage)

+# Tests pour obisuperkmer
+
+## Description
+
+Ce répertoire contient les tests automatisés pour la commande `obisuperkmer`.
+
+## Fichiers
+
+- `test.sh` : Script de test principal (exécutable)
+- `test_sequences.fasta` : Jeu de données de test minimal (3 séquences courtes)
+- `README.md` : Ce fichier
+
+## Jeu de données de test
+
+Le fichier `test_sequences.fasta` contient 3 séquences de 32 nucléotides chacune :
+
+1. **seq1** : Répétition du motif ACGT (séquence régulière)
+2. **seq2** : Alternance de blocs homopolymères (AAAA, CCCC, GGGG, TTTT)
+3. **seq3** : Répétition du motif ATCG (différent de seq1)
+
+Ces séquences sont volontairement courtes pour :
+- Minimiser la taille du dépôt Git
+- Accélérer l'exécution des tests en CI/CD
+- Tester différents cas d'extraction de super k-mers
+
+## Tests effectués
+
+Le script `test.sh` effectue 12 tests :
+
+### Test 1 : Affichage de l'aide
+Vérifie que `obisuperkmer -h` s'exécute correctement.
+
+### Test 2 : Extraction basique avec paramètres par défaut
+Exécute `obisuperkmer` avec k=21, m=11 (valeurs par défaut).
+
+### Test 3 : Vérification du fichier de sortie non vide
+S'assure que la commande produit une sortie.
+
+### Test 4 : Comptage des super k-mers extraits
+Vérifie qu'au moins un super k-mer a été extrait.
+
+### Test 5 : Présence des métadonnées requises
+Vérifie que chaque super k-mer contient :
+- `minimizer_value`
+- `minimizer_seq`
+- `parent_id`
+
+### Test 6 : Extraction avec paramètres personnalisés
+Teste avec k=15 et m=7.
+
+### Test 7 : Vérification des paramètres dans les métadonnées
+S'assure que les valeurs k=15 et m=7 sont présentes dans la sortie.
+
+### Test 8 : Format de sortie FASTA explicite
+Teste l'option `--fasta-output`.
+
+### Test 9 : Vérification des IDs des super k-mers
+S'assure que tous les IDs contiennent "superkmer".
+
+### Test 10 : Préservation des IDs parents
+Vérifie que seq1, seq2 et seq3 apparaissent dans la sortie.
+
+### Test 11 : Option -o pour fichier de sortie
+Teste la redirection vers un fichier avec `-o`.
+
+### Test 12 : Vérification de la création du fichier avec -o
+S'assure que le fichier de sortie a été créé.
+
+### Test 13 : Cohérence des longueurs
+Vérifie que la somme des longueurs des super k-mers est inférieure ou égale à la longueur totale des séquences d'entrée.
+
+## Exécution des tests
+
+### Localement
+
+```bash
+cd /chemin/vers/obitools4/obitests/obitools/obisuperkmer
+./test.sh
+```
+
+### En CI/CD
+
+Les tests sont automatiquement exécutés lors de chaque commit via le système CI/CD configuré pour le projet.
+
+### Prérequis
+
+- La commande `obisuperkmer` doit être compilée et disponible dans `../../build/`
+- Les dépendances système : bash, grep, etc.
+
+## Structure du script de test
+
+Le script suit le pattern standard utilisé par tous les tests OBITools :
+
+1. **En-tête** : Définition du nom du test et de la commande
+2. **Variables** : Configuration des chemins et compteurs
+3. **Fonction cleanup()** : Affiche les résultats et nettoie le répertoire temporaire
+4. **Fonction log()** : Affiche les messages horodatés
+5. **Tests** : Série de tests avec incrémentation des compteurs
+6. **Appel cleanup()** : Nettoyage et sortie avec code de retour approprié
+
+## Format de sortie
+
+Chaque test affiche :
+```
+[obisuperkmer @ date] message
+```
+
+En fin d'exécution :
+```
+========================================
+## Results of the obisuperkmer tests:
+
+- 12 tests run
+- 12 successfully completed
+- 0 failed tests
+
+Cleaning up the temporary directory...
+
+========================================
+```
+
+## Codes de retour
+
+- **0** : Tous les tests ont réussi
+- **1** : Au moins un test a échoué
+
+## Ajout de nouveaux tests
+
+Pour ajouter un nouveau test, suivre le pattern :
+
+```bash
+((ntest++))
+if commande_test arguments
+then
+    log "Description: OK" 
+    ((success++))
+else
+    log "Description: failed"
+    ((failed++))
+fi
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Les fichiers temporaires sont créés dans `$TMPDIR` (créé par mktemp)
+- Les fichiers de données sont dans `$TEST_DIR`
+- La commande testée doit être dans `$OBITOOLS_DIR` (../../build/)
+- Le répertoire temporaire est automatiquement nettoyé à la fin
