Routes Sort::execute_sort onto the declarative chain/arena engine unconditionally (hand-built ChainSpec; SinkSpec::Bam/BamWithIndex per --write-index), keeping the owned RawExternalSorter in-tree as a parity oracle (its deletion is a later PR). Closes parity gaps: threading default, memory budget sized by max(threads, sort_threads), FGUMI_TMP_DIRS env fallback, owned-style Spill runs: summary wording.

Proves byte-identical output vs a saved baseline binary AND samtools (header-normalized) across all four sort orders + --write-index, spill and in-memory. Multi-thread: t4 −21%, t8 −15% vs owned (t16 was +3.4% here — the regression the stacked run-extension PR fixes).

Behavior change beyond sort: the shared source opener now rejects a records-only SAM with no @ header (previously accepted with an empty header) across every chain command — fail-closed on malformed input, since records reference reference IDs an empty header can't resolve.

Stacked on the t1-fix PR. Reviewed with a multi-agent gauntlet + a CodeRabbit-style pass; fixes in the final commit.

Risk: sort output changes are pinned by byte-level parity tests against a saved baseline and samtools; unsafe changes are none and the CLAUDE.md allowlist is unchanged; memory, thread, and backpressure policies change through max(threads, sort_threads) and bounded decoded-record output.

  • Route Sort::execute_sort through the declarative chain/arena engine.
  • Preserve RawExternalSorter as a parity oracle.
  • Support BAM output to stdout and SinkSpec::BamWithIndex.
  • Classify SAM input by content and reject records-only SAM with InvalidData.
  • Preserve temporary-directory fallback, spill behavior, CRC checks, and parse error context.
  • Add DecodedRecordBatchToRecordBatch for bounded, ordered sort ingestion with backpressure.
  • Add parity tests for sort orders, indexing, spilling, memory modes, flags, and invalid inputs.
  • Report spill counts as Spill runs.

Walkthrough

The sort command now uses the pipeline chain. SAM inputs bridge decoded records into sort ingestion. BAM sinks support stdout streams. Shared thread sizing and integration tests cover sorting, indexing, spilling, errors, and parity.

Changes

Sort pipeline cutover

Layer / File(s) Summary
Input classification and output streaming
crates/fgumi-pipeline-io/src/sink/write_bgzf.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/source/mod.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/parse/sam.rs
Plain BAM output can stream to - and /dev/stdout. SAM and extensionless inputs use content classification. SAM parsing requires a header and adds record-level error context.
SAM sort bridge and memory sizing
src/lib/pipeline/chains/builder.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/decoded_to_records.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/mod.rs, src/lib/commands/common.rs
SAM sort-first inputs use DecodedRecordBatchToRecordBatch. Sort memory sizing uses the larger configured thread count. The adapter preserves record bytes and ordered backpressure behavior.
Chain-based sort execution
src/lib/commands/sort.rs, src/lib/pipeline/chains/commands/sort.rs, src/lib/commands/common.rs
execute_sort builds a ChainSpec with sorting, temporary-directory, compression, CRC, threading, and indexing options. Unsupported non-default flags are logged as ignored. Sort summaries use Spill runs.
Sort cutover validation
tests/integration/test_sort_cutover_parity.rs, tests/integration/main.rs, tests/integration/test_chain_bam_with_index.rs, Cargo.toml
Integration tests cover sort orders, parity, indexes, spills, temporary-directory propagation, invalid threads, inert flags, and corrupted BGZF input. The test dependency enables noodles BGZF access.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 75b1c

When comparison tools are unavailable, the fallback test can accept correctly ordered output even if records are missing or changed, weakening protection against data-integrity regressions. The risk is bounded and mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Matches the owned engine's memory_budget_threads. Also affects runall's sort
stage when --sort::sort-threads exceeds --threads (intended: same semantics).
Routes Sort::execute_sort's execution onto the declarative chain builder
(build_for(spec)?.run()) instead of the owned RawExternalSorter engine. The
owned sorter is still built (self.build_sorter) but only to source the
config banner's thread/temp-file numbers; execution itself goes through the
chain. All guards and the config-banner logging are kept verbatim.

Two owned-engine parity gaps surfaced once sort's default (always-on)
execution path started depending on shared chain infrastructure for the
first time, and both are fixed here as prerequisites to the cutover:

- Stdout sink: WriteBgzfFile::new/new_with_handle (fgumi-pipeline-io) always
  called File::create, so `sort -o -` wrote a regular file literally named
  `-` instead of streaming BGZF to stdout. Routed both through
  open_output_writer (mirroring WriteRawFile's existing `-` handling and the
  owned sort engine's PooledBamWriter), boxing WriterState's writer so a
  non-seekable stdout handle fits the same field. BamWithIndex's stdout
  rejection in add_sink is untouched, so this only affects the plain BAM
  sink.

- SAM source: ChainBuilder::add_source unconditionally rejected SAM input
  when sort was the first stage, on the incorrect premise that "the legacy
  sorter read BAM only" -- untrue for the owned RawExternalSorter, and sort's
  own CONTRACTS table (test_input_source_matrix) declares SAM support as
  required. Removed the rejection so SAM routes through the existing
  ParseSamChunk preamble like every other SAM ingest. That preamble emits
  DecodedRecordBatch, but the sort ingest (SortBuffer) needs RecordBatch, so
  added a DecodedRecordBatchToRecordBatch adapter step (mirrors
  TemplatesToRecordBatch) to bridge it. Two smaller gaps surfaced once SAM
  input started actually reaching this path for sort: InputSource's `.sam`
  suffix branch trusted the extension outright instead of sniffing content
  (so a BGZF file misnamed `.sam` failed to parse), and ParseSamChunk's
  record-read error wasn't labelled, so a malformed record surfaced as a
  bare "unexpected EOL" instead of naming it as a SAM record fault (now
  labelled the same way fgumi_bam_io::sam_input already labels the identical
  fault).

Adds a smoke test (test_sort_cutover_parity.rs) verifying the command
produces correctly coordinate-sorted output via the chain. This is not a
genuine RED/GREEN pair -- the pre-cutover owned-engine path already sorts
correctly, so it passes both before and after; the real parity gate is a
follow-up task's byte-identity comparison against the owned-engine baseline.

Full cargo ci-test (9561 tests) passes, including the 20 tests (across
test_sort_thread_logging, test_streaming_output, test_sam_input, and
test_input_source_matrix) that regressed during development of this cutover
and are fixed by the two parity fixes above.

Comment thread tests/integration/test_sort_cutover_parity.rs
Address a multi-agent review of PR A (the execute_sort chain cutover):

- Remove a committed personal absolute path used as a baseline-binary
  fallback in the parity test; the baseline now comes solely from
  FGUMI_BASELINE_BIN (a host-specific path must never live in the repo).

- Fix a process-global logger collision: the standalone-sort summary test
  installed its own capturing logger, which panics under plain `cargo t`
  (one process, one global logger) when a sibling capture test in
  commands::common has already installed one. Both now share a single
  crate-wide `commands::common::test_log_capture` installer.

- Give a queryname-lex parity case a real order oracle. It has no samtools
  equivalent, so it previously skipped entirely without a baseline; it now
  self-verifies with `fgumi sort --verify` (an accepted order oracle), so
  it is checked even in plain CI.

- Surface the underlying OS error on output-open failure: WriteBgzfFile
  wrapped an anyhow error with `{e}`, dropping the source chain; use `{e:#}`
  so permission-denied / ENOENT reasons survive.

- Warn that `--read-streams` / `--sort-stats` are not yet threaded through
  the chain rather than silently ignoring a non-default value (full restore
  tracked as follow-up).

- Skip the per-record GroupKey computation for a SAM-first sort (the CIGAR
  walk + aux-tag extraction), which sort discards — the same cheap config
  the correct-first path already uses. Output-neutral: only the discarded
  key changes.

- Single source of truth for the sort memory-budget thread count
  (common::sort_memory_budget_threads), shared by the owned banner path and
  the chain builder so they cannot drift; rename the mis-named budget test
  to what it actually checks; drop a redundant `output` re-bind and the
  duplicate "Sorting BAM" timer start line; fix a strip_pg_lines
  trailing-newline edge and a stale line-number comment.

The headerless-SAM rejection this cutover introduced (records-only SAM,
previously accepted with an empty header, now failing closed across all
chain commands) is intentional and investigated; it is called out in the
PR description as a cross-command behavior change.

The sort-command cutover (#885) hardcoded QueueMemoryOptions::default()
(768 MiB/thread) when building the chain, so `fgumi sort --max-memory`
bounded only the sorter's in-memory record buffer, not the bytes held in
the inter-stage pipeline queues. A small --max-memory (e.g. -m 64K -@ 8)
shrank the sort buffer while the queues could still use gigabytes, so peak
RSS barely moved.

Project the command's single memory knob (--max-memory / --memory-reserve /
--memory-per-thread) onto the queue budget via a new queue_memory_options
helper, so one flag bounds both budgets. The two totals scale by different
thread counts (the sorter by max(threads, sort_threads), the queues by
threads); that asymmetry is intentional and documented on the flag.

Two deliberate, benign consequences of sharing the flag, documented in
code and called out here:
- The default queue budget now follows --max-memory's default ("768M" =
  768 MB decimal via the size parser), marginally below the former
  hardcoded 768 MiB, aligning it with the sorter's own default.
- A large or `auto` --max-memory does not balloon queue memory: the queue
  total does not raise the per-stage backpressure marks (512/256 MiB, issue
  #765), which are what bound in-flight queue bytes. Verified empirically:
  peak RSS is flat (~380-410 MiB) across -m 768M/auto/4GiB/8GiB at -@ 8 on
  a 64 GiB host.

Extract the ChainSpec construction into a unit-tested build_sort_chain_spec
so the wiring (queue budget, stages, threading, write-index sink) is
guarded against a silent revert, not only exercised through a full run
where a dropped knob is invisible.

The sort-on-chain cutover (#885) dropped the per-phase wall-time
breakdown that every `fgumi sort` run used to log. Pre-cutover the owned
`RawExternalSorter` engine emitted `=== Sort Phase Timing ===` (the tool
CLAUDE.md's Benchmarking Notes call the primary sort attribution tool);
standalone `fgumi sort` now runs entirely through the declarative chain
and never calls that engine, so the block was gone and `--sort-stats`
was repurposed to gate the k-way-merge scheduling counters instead.

The chain still models every phase as a discrete step, and the runtime
already records each step's cumulative busy time, so re-derive the
breakdown as a roll-up over the end-of-run pipeline stats snapshot rather
than resurrecting the retired engine:

- Add `SortPhaseTimingFinalizeHook`, which maps each sort step name to
  its phase (read+decompress / in-memory sort / spill write /
  consolidation / k-way merge / write output), sums the per-step
  `total_run_ns` into phase buckets, and logs the block with per-phase
  seconds and percentages plus a note that the percentages are shares of
  cumulative per-step busy time (the steps run concurrently). It reads
  `snapshot.steps` only, never the `detached` view, which would
  double-count the detached writer.
- Register it in `ChainBuilder::build` for any chain containing a sort
  stage, gated on a stats collector already being attached
  (`--pipeline-stats` / `FGUMI_PIPELINE_STATS=1`). The default sort path
  attaches no collector, so it keeps its zero-overhead behavior.
- Update CLAUDE.md Benchmarking Notes: it described the now-dead
  owned-engine timer as always-on; document the chain-derived roll-up
  and its invocation, and note the library `fgumi-sort` engine still
  carries its own `SortPhaseTimer` for direct `RawExternalSorter`
  callers.
