Fixes #904.

Problem

downsample keeps or drops whole UMI families atomically, to model "fewer input molecules captured." For duplex data, the paired grouping strategy tags a molecule's two strands <base>/A and <base>/B as distinct MI values. So each strand gets an independent keep/reject draw, and a duplex molecule survives as a duplex only when both draws hit — probability fraction². At low fractions duplex families collapse, and a duplex dataset downsampled with downsample is silently depleted of exactly the thing that makes it duplex.

Fix

Group by the molecule base by default. Each MI is reduced to its base via the canonical extract_mi_base (the same last-/ truncation group, duplex, and duplex_metrics already use to collapse strands to their source molecule), so both strands of a molecule form one family sharing a single keep/reject draw and are kept or dropped together. Duplex families then survive at the intended fraction.

This is a no-op for simplex and integer MIs (no / to strip), so the only outputs that change are the duplex ones that were previously wrong. Molecule-atomic is also the semantically correct sampling unit for a family-atomic downsampler, and it matches how the rest of the pipeline defines a molecule.

Add --per-strand (off by default) to opt back into the legacy behavior of sampling each raw MI tag independently — for deliberate strand-level sampling.

Notes

  • This supersedes the earlier --by-molecule opt-in from this same PR (never released). Making the correct behavior the default — rather than something a user must know to ask for — also removes the need for the previous duplex-suffix detection and the one-time "you're probably holding it wrong" warning, so the change is a net simplification: the detection predicate, the warning, and the mode-threading boolean are gone; grouping is always keyed on extract_mi_base unless --per-strand is set.
  • Reuses the canonical extract_mi_base rather than a local strip, so downsample's grouping rule cannot drift from group/duplex. The canonical rule strips at the last / (any suffix), not only /A,/B; valid paired output only ever uses <int>/A and <int>/B, and simplex assigners emit bare integer MIs, so this is exactly right for grouped input and consistent with the rest of the pipeline.
  • Family-size histograms (--histogram-kept / --histogram-rejected) now count both strands of a duplex molecule as one family, consistent with the sampling unit — a second observable output change beyond the BAM records themselves.

Testing

  • Unit tests: FamilyIterator collapses N/A+N/B into one family by default and splits them under --per-strand; family_key/family_key_equals parity across both modes and Z/integer MIs; a pin that the default key uses the canonical any-suffix strip (not a narrowed /A,/B-only strip) and preserves a leading-/ empty base.
  • Integration tests assert source-record identity (which named reads survived), not just counts or MI values:
    • test_downsample_default_keeps_duplex_strands_together: seed-independent atomicity invariant — every surviving molecule base keeps exactly its own five reads and both /A and /B strands, exercising both the kept and dropped branches at f=0.5.
    • test_downsample_default_preserves_simplex_family: deterministic f=1.0 — exactly the four input reads survive, each retaining MI 999.
    • test_downsample_per_strand_splits_duplex_strands: the opt-out inverse — under --per-strand, at least one molecule survives with only one of its two strands.
  • cargo nextest run -p fgumi (46 downsample tests pass), cargo ci-lint (clippy -D warnings), and cargo fmt --check all clean.

Risk: downsample output changes because canonical extract_mi_base makes duplex strands share one decision; unsafe changes: none, and CLAUDE.md needs no update; memory, queue, and backpressure changes: none.

Adds molecule-level duplex sampling by default. Adds --per-strand for independent raw-MI sampling. Preserves simplex and integer-MI behavior.

Adds unit and integration tests for grouping keys, duplex atomicity, source-record identity, simplex preservation, and per-strand sampling.

Walkthrough

downsample now samples duplex strands as one molecule by default. The --per-strand option restores independent raw-MI sampling. MI validation, streaming family processing, and simplex handling remain supported.

Downsampling now keeps duplex strands together by default while retaining an explicit per-strand option. The covered grouping, simplex, integer-MI, and duplex atomicity behavior is ready to merge.

Explanation

The implementation addresses duplex grouping, but it conflicts with issue #904's specified compatibility behavior. The issue requests opt-in molecule grouping with raw-MI sampling as the default and a warning when duplex suffixes are present. This PR reverses the default and does not show the requested warning.

…ut (#904)

downsample keeps or drops whole UMI families atomically to model "fewer
input molecules captured." For duplex data the `paired` grouping strategy
tags a molecule's two strands `<base>/A` and `<base>/B` as distinct MI
values, so each strand got an independent keep/reject draw and a duplex
molecule survived as a duplex only with probability fraction^2 — low
fractions silently gutted duplex structure.

Group by the molecule base by default: each MI is reduced to its base via
the canonical `extract_mi_base` (the same last-`/` truncation `group`,
`duplex`, and `duplex_metrics` use), so both strands share one draw and are
kept or dropped together. This is a no-op for simplex/integer MIs (no `/`
to strip), so the only outputs that change are the duplex ones that were
previously wrong. Add `--per-strand` to opt back into the legacy raw-MI
behavior for deliberate strand-level sampling.

This supersedes the earlier `--by-molecule` opt-in (never released): the
correct behavior is the default rather than something a user must know to
ask for, which also removes the need for the duplex-suffix detection and
one-time warning. Note that family-size histograms now count both strands
of a molecule as one family, consistent with the sampling unit.
