Part 2 of 5 of the in-process bwa-mem3 aligner stack (#986 → #987 (this PR) → #988 → #989 → #990).

Summary

Splits runall's align stage into an AlignBackend trait and a shared parallel zipper merge, so a second backend can plug in without duplicating the merge. Only the existing subprocess backend exists after this change, and its output is unchanged.

  • align_and_merge.rs moves to align/subprocess.rs in its own commit (pure git mv plus path fixups), so the refactor diff is reviewable.
  • AlignBackend::wire appends a backend's steps after the queryname-grouped tail and returns the merged tail plus scheduling hints (AlignWired: minimum workers, drain-first preference); the chain builder folds those into the pool configuration. The subprocess backend keeps today's floor of 4 workers.
  • MergeAlignedStep / merge_zipper_batch (align/merge.rs) hold the zipper merge both backends will share.
  • backend_for builds the backend a resolved --aligner::* selection names, so aligner.rs (the framework-agnostic subprocess primitive) no longer depends on the pipeline steps.
  • Fixes the @SQcount/@SQname/@SQlength wording in the @SQ-consistency errors to @SQ count/@SQ name/@SQ length.

Risk: no output change for any command (only those error message strings); no unsafe; no memory-bound, queue-capacity or thread-policy change (the subprocess backend's worker floor and queues are carried over as they were).

Tests

Existing align/zipper tests move with the code; the scheduling-fold matrix pins the backends' real hints (SubprocessBackend::MIN_WORKERS / PREFERS_DRAIN_FIRST) rather than literals.

Risk: Output—no intended changes beyond corrected @SQ error wording; header and merge tests cover key cases, but no runtime test results are supplied. Unsafe—none added; no CLAUDE.md allowlist update is indicated. Resource policy—the subprocess byte budget is derived from chunk size, and its four-worker minimum and drain-first preference feed pool scheduling.

The align stage now uses an AlignBackend trait, with a subprocess backend and a shared parallel zipper merge. The merge preserves batch order and rejects mismatched mapped and unmapped template counts. The chain builder skips queryname grouping when its input is already grouped, then folds backend scheduling hints into the pool configuration.

Walkthrough

The alignment path now selects a backend through ResolvedAligner. Subprocess alignment emits zipper batches, and a shared parallel merge step produces ordered template batches. The chain builder wires the backend and applies its scheduling preferences.

Changes

Alignment Backend and Merge Pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backend contracts and shared alignment data
src/lib/aligner.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/mod.rs
Resolved aligners now hold a backend variant. The align module defines backend wiring, zipper-batch data, in-flight accounting, primary-read filtering, and header validation and merging.
Subprocess output and shared batch merge
src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/merge.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/subprocess.rs, src/lib/commands/zipper.rs
SubprocessAlignStep forwards zipper batches. MergeAlignedStep merges them into ordinal-ordered template batches, applies tag transformations and optional bisulfite restoration, and updates the emitted-record counter.
Chain builder wiring and scheduling
src/lib/pipeline/chains/builder.rs, src/lib/pipeline/chains/commands/align.rs, src/lib/pipeline/chains/stage.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/mod.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/templates_to_records.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/types.rs
The chain builder selects and wires the backend. Template-batch inputs bypass queryname grouping. Backend worker minimums and scheduler preferences update pipeline scheduling settings. Related documentation and tests are updated.

Comment thread src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/mod.rs
RefillDrainScheduler walks drain-first (downstream-first) like
DrainFirstScheduler, except while a step's refill signal is raised: then
it walks forward through the steps up to and including a named refill
step (so upstream decode can read the next batch ahead) and drain-first
over the rest. An optional byte cap on the queue feeding a named step
stops the read-ahead once that queue holds enough. The scheduler binds to
the run's bounded queues once, when the pipeline is built.

WalkDirection gains RefillThenReverse, and the round-robin dispatch maps
it to a visit order in one place (walk_position), covered by a case table.
Pure move ahead of splitting the align stage into a backend trait: the
file becomes the subprocess backend under a new `steps::align` module.
Only the module declaration and the two `align_and_merge::` paths that
name it change, so the tree builds unchanged.

…shared merge

The align stage's single Serial AlignAndMergeStep aligned each batch
through the aligner subprocess and zipper-merged it on the dispatching
worker. It is now an `AlignBackend` trait whose `wire` appends a
backend's steps after the queryname-grouped input and returns its merged
tail plus the scheduling facts the chain builder folds in (worker floor,
drain-first preference). The subprocess backend is the only one: a
Serial `SubprocessAlignStep` (the former step, minus the inline merge)
emitting `ZipperBatch`es, followed by a Parallel `MergeAlignedStep` that
runs the unchanged zipper merge on many batches at once and restores
input order from each batch's serial.

`ResolvedAligner` now carries a `ResolvedBackend` and `backend_for`
builds the backend from it, so the framework-agnostic `aligner` module
does not depend on the pipeline's align stage. The @SQ-consistency
errors read "@sq count/name/length" (the moved messages had lost the
space). Merged output is unchanged.
