Closes #757.

Where the issue was wrong

The issue says the records "are routed correctly" and reach --rejects while only the counts are stranded. They do not. DuplexConsensusCaller reaches the single-strand caller through filter_by_alignment, which counts what it dropped on ss_caller.stats but returns the rejected indices rather than the records — the raw bytes belong to the duplex caller, and the duplex caller discarded the indices (let (filtered_xs, _) = ...). The vanilla caller populates rejected_reads only inside process_subgroup, which the duplex path never enters, so ss_caller.take_rejected_reads() at the drain site always returned an empty vec.

So the single-strand drops reached neither output, not just --stats. raw_reads_rejected under-reported and the rejects BAM was missing records — which is what #756's own "Not changed here" section said ("they appear in neither output"), and is the stronger claim.

The issue is also wrong that the numbers were "visible in the run log". log_statistics() has no callers anywhere in the repo — the commands log through log_consensus_summary(&metrics), derived from statistics(). The counts were invisible everywhere.

Everything else holds: statistics() returned only self.stats, nothing merged the sub-caller's, the reasons involved are recorded at vanilla_caller.rs's alignment filter, and record-count-equals-raw_reads_rejected is the right invariant to pin.

The fix

Two halves, both required for the invariant:

  • filter_by_alignment's rejected indices are mapped back to their raw records and handed to the sub-caller via a new record_rejected_raw, in input order (iterating the record slice, not the HashSet). They then drain through the existing take_rejected_reads path.
  • take_statistics drains the sub-caller's counters per molecule, and consensus_reads folds that delta into its own.

Avoiding the double count

A whole-group duplex rejection counts and emits every raw input record, so the single-strand layer's rejections are a subset already covered; adding them on top reports more rejected reads than the rejects BAM holds. The fold therefore runs on exactly one of the two paths.

The discriminator is the load-bearing detail. The pre-existing code used duplex_rejected_raw.is_empty(), which works only because it ran under if track_rejects — the payload is also empty whenever tracking is off, so reusing it to gate a statistics decision would double-count every run made without --rejects, i.e. the common case for --stats. process_group now returns an explicit DuplexGroupOutcome::{Kept, RejectedWholeGroup(records)} instead, and the enum's doc says why the payload cannot stand in for it.

Both hazards are pinned by tests that were confirmed to fail against the naive fix, not merely written alongside the right one:

  • folding unconditionally makes test_single_strand_rejections_are_not_double_counted_on_whole_group_rejection report 20 rejected reads against 16 input records;
  • returning Kept when tracking is off makes test_whole_group_rejection_counts_are_independent_of_rejects_tracking report 16 tracked vs 20 untracked.

Which reasons can collide was worked out rather than assumed. The sub-caller records exactly two reasons on this path — Unmapped (from drop_unmapped_if_any_mapped) and MinorityAlignment — and they are disjoint by construction, since the unmapped reads are removed before the minority pass counts what is left. Its record_input / record_consensus sites are in process_group and consensus_reads, which the duplex path does not call, so total_reads and consensus_reads are structurally zero in the delta; both are asserted to stay at the duplex layer's own values rather than left to trust.

Tests

TDD; all four failed before the fix.

  • test_single_strand_rejections_reach_the_duplex_statistics — a molecule that survives with one minority-alignment template on /A. Pins the two counters, that total_reads/consensus_reads are not inflated by the fold, and that the retained bytes are exactly that template's two records — byte-for-byte, in input order — not merely the right count.
  • test_single_strand_rejections_are_not_double_counted_on_whole_group_rejection — min_reads = 4 is met before single-strand filtering and missed after it, the only way to reach a whole-group rejection downstream of that layer. A control run pins the fixture is not vacuous: four clean templates per strand clear the same threshold, so the rejection is caused by the single-strand drops rather than by the raw depth.
  • test_whole_group_rejection_counts_are_independent_of_rejects_tracking — the same molecule with and without tracking must report identical counters and per-reason breakdown.
  • test_duplex_rejects_bam_reconciles_with_stats (integration, single-threaded and --threads 2) — the end-to-end invariant: rejects BAM record count equals raw_reads_rejected for an input where one molecule both emits a consensus and drops reads, with each reject compared byte-for-byte against the record it came from.

test_duplex_command_rejects_contain_no_duplicates's doc claimed to cover the single-strand source; every molecule in it rejects at the duplex layer, so it never could. Reworded to say what it actually pins and to point at the new test for the other half.

log_statistics no longer logs the sub-caller separately — its counters are drained per molecule now, so the block would print zeroes and imply the drops went uncounted.

Parity with fgbio

This moves the surviving-molecule path onto fgbio's behavior exactly. DuplexConsensusCaller.scala:321-322 calls the inherited filterToMostCommonAlignment, so rejectRecords(..., MinorityAlignment) lands on the duplex caller's own counter and its own rejects writer — one layer, both outputs.

Not changed here

  • The per-reason split on the whole-group path. fgbio's rejectRecords is first-writer-wins (recs.filterNot(_.contains(RejectReasonTag))), so a record already rejected as MinorityAlignment keeps that reason and the whole-group reason applies only to the survivors — DuplexConsensusCaller.scala:359-362 says so in a comment. fgumi attributes the entire raw group to the duplex reason instead. The totals agree either way (one record, one count), which is what this issue is about; the split does not, and fixing it means touching all five whole-group sites and their reject payloads. It belongs with the rejection-attribution work in codec rejection reasons are attributed differently from fgbio, making the stats files non-comparable #749.
  • Reads dropped by create_source_read returning None (zero length after trimming, absent qualities). The duplex path drops them silently via filter_map, where process_subgroup counts them as ZeroLengthAfterTrimming and writes them. They are missing from both outputs symmetrically, so they do not break reconciliation — a separate under-count, not this one.
  • codec — audited, no equivalent defect. Its composed single-strand caller is reached only through consensus_call, which records no statistics and touches no rejects buffer; codec does its own alignment filtering and counts it on its own stats. Nothing is stranded there.

Memory

Bounded by one molecule's rejected records, and only when --rejects is set: the bytes are copied into the sub-caller's buffer and moved into the duplex caller's on the same call. Worth noting separately that single-threaded duplex never drains its rejects buffer inside the group loop the way simplex and codec do (simplex.rs:467, codec.rs:513), so that buffer holds every rejected record until the loop ends; this change adds to what accumulates there. That is a pre-existing shape, not introduced here, and the --threads path drains per batch.

Gate

cargo ci-fmt, cargo ci-lint, cargo ci-test (7499 passed, 30 skipped) and cargo ci-doctest all clean.

Risk: output changes affect --stats and --rejects only, pinned by raw-record order, deduplication, and reconciliation tests; grouping, consensus, sort order, and corrected UMIs: none; unsafe: none; memory bounds, queue capacity, and thread/backpressure policy: none.

Fixes duplex rejection accounting. Single-strand rejected records now use the rejects buffer in raw-record order. Single-strand statistics now merge into duplex statistics without double counting whole-group rejections. Post-filter read thresholds prevent invalid single-strand consensus output.

Adds regression coverage for statistics, reject records, deduplication, tracking modes, alignment filtering, and single- versus multi-threaded execution.

…jects

`DuplexConsensusCaller` drives a composed `VanillaUmiConsensusCaller` for
single-strand consensus, and that sub-caller keeps its own counters and
rejects buffer. Nothing merged either one back, so a read the single-strand
layer dropped from a molecule that still produced a duplex consensus reached
neither `--stats` nor `--rejects`: `raw_reads_rejected` under-reported and the
rejects BAM was missing records it plainly should have held.

`filter_by_alignment` returns the indices it rejected rather than the records,
because the duplex caller owns those bytes; hand them back so they land in the
sub-caller's rejects buffer, and take its statistics per molecule so the delta
folds into the duplex caller's own.

The fold is conditional, and must be: a whole-group duplex rejection counts and
emits every raw input record, so the single-strand subset is already covered and
adding it on top would report more rejected reads than the rejects BAM holds.
That is signalled by an explicit `DuplexGroupOutcome` rather than by an empty
reject payload, which is also empty whenever tracking is off — inferring it that
way would double-count every run made without `--rejects`.

`log_statistics` no longer logs the sub-caller separately: its counters are now
drained per molecule, so the block would print zeroes and imply the drops went
uncounted.

* fix(duplex): count and route reads that trim to zero length

The duplex path built its X/Y SourceRead vectors with a bare filter_map,
silently discarding every read create_source_read rejected (a read that
quality-trims to zero, or has absent qualities). Those reads reached
neither --stats nor --rejects, so raw_reads_rejected under-counted.

rejects a zero-length read as ZeroPostAfterTrimming on the duplex caller's
own writer and counter (UmiConsensusCaller.toSourceRead).

Closes #792

* fix(duplex): split whole-group rejection reasons first-writer-wins (#795)

On a whole-group rejection downstream of the single-strand filter, reads
already rejected as MinorityAlignment were re-attributed entirely to the
duplex whole-group reason. fgbio keeps the single-strand reason on those
records (first-writer-wins) and applies the whole-group reason only to
the survivors; the reject total agreed but the --stats per-reason split
did not.

The rejects BAM carries no per-record reason (records are byte-for-byte
with input), so this is a --stats attribution fix at the drain site. New
reattribute_single_strand_rejections moves the single-strand-rejected
reads out of the whole-group reason bucket and into their own, a reason
move that leaves the reject total unchanged so --rejects still
reconciles with raw_reads_rejected.

Closes #791

* fix(consensus)!: error on reads with absent base qualities (#796)

A mapped read that reaches a quality-weighted consensus caller with no
base qualities (BAM QUAL of '*', encoded as 0xFF per base) is
structurally invalid input, not a biological filter: it cannot be
weighted by the model. fgumi dropped such reads silently, folding them
under ZeroLengthAfterTrimming, which can quietly degrade a molecule's
depth when an upstream tool strips QUAL — with no signal to the user.

create_source_read now returns Result<Option<SourceRead>>: Err on absent
or length-mismatched qualities (the run aborts, naming the read), Ok(None)
on the legitimate zero-length-after-trimming path, Ok(Some) otherwise.
The vanilla and duplex production callers propagate the error; codec
builds source reads through its own path and is unaffected. This matches
fgbio, whose toSourceRead throws on missing base qualities.

BREAKING CHANGE: inputs containing mapped reads with absent base
qualities now abort consensus calling instead of silently dropping those
reads.

Closes #794
