Part 4 of 5 of the in-process bwa-mem3 aligner stack (#986 → #987 → #988 → #989 (this PR) → #990).

Summary

Adds the opt-in aligner-bwa-mem3 cargo feature (off by default; it needs a C++17 toolchain), which pulls in bwa-mem3-rs 0.3.0 from crates.io (vendoring bwa-mem3 51ceed7), and the pure, engine-agnostic pieces of the in-process backend. Nothing is wired into a pipeline until part 5.

  • inproc/cohort.rs: the three bwa rules the in-process backend must reproduce exactly for byte parity with bwa-mem3 mem -p -K: the -K cohort cut (including the even-read-count rule), the per-cohort SE/PE layout that -p smart pairing produces, and the per-sub-batch read-id bases. Each is pinned by a proptest against a literal Rust port of the upstream C rule.
  • inproc/engine.rs: the AlignEngine trait over bwa-mem3-rs's three-phase API (seed_extend → infer_cohort → pair_emit), a BwaMem3Engine implementation, and a recording fake for unit tests.
  • inproc/gate.rs: the cohort-granularity in-flight gate and lease (two cohorts resident at a time) and its refill signal.
  • inproc/scratch.rs: the per-pool-thread aligner scratch.
  • CI: an aligner-ffi job builds the feature and runs its tests, pedantic clippy and rustdoc with -D warnings.

inproc/mod.rs carries a temporary allow(dead_code) because nothing calls these yet; part 5 removes it.

Risk: no output change (feature off by default, and nothing is wired even with it on); no new unsafe in fgumi's crates, which stay #![deny(unsafe_code)] (the feature links bwa-mem3-sys/bwa-mem3-rs, which carry their own FFI; CLAUDE.md says so); no memory or threading change.

Walkthrough

Adds an opt-in aligner-bwa-mem3 feature and in-process alignment primitives. The changes add cohort handling, resource management, and a bwa-mem3 engine adapter. Feature-specific CI checks run on x86_64 and ARM runners. The feature remains documented as being wired into runall.

Changes

In-process aligner backend

Layer / File(s) Summary
Feature setup and validation
Cargo.toml, src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/mod.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/inproc/mod.rs, CLAUDE.md, .github/workflows/check.yml
Adds the opt-in, target-specific bwa-mem3-rs dependency and feature-gated module declarations. Documents the C++17 and FFI constraints. Adds feature-enabled test, Clippy, and rustdoc jobs for x86_64 and ARM runners.
Cohort and work-item model
src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/inproc/cohort.rs
Adds cohort cutting, pair and single layout classification, ID-base calculations, and work-item types. Tests compare the cut, layout, and ID rules with literal upstream-rule ports.
Cohort admission and scratch reuse
src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/inproc/gate.rs, src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/inproc/scratch.rs
Adds byte-budgeted cohort admission, cloneable leases with shared resident state, refill signaling, and per-thread scratch caching. Tests cover gate transitions, lease cleanup, scratch reuse, and error handling.
Alignment engine and backend
src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/inproc/engine.rs
Defines the alignment engine contract and implements the bwa-mem3 phases. Adds a fake engine, tests for batch behavior and emission order, and an optional real-engine smoke test.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/check.yml:
- Around line 114-115: Update the “Unit tests (aligner-bwa-mem3)” step in the
aligner-ffi job to create a small valid bwa-mem3 index, then run the cargo
nextest command with FGUMI_BWA_MEM3_TEST_REF pointing to that index and
FGUMI_BWA_MEM3_REQUIRE_TOOLS set to 1 so BwaMem3Engine is exercised rather than
skipped.

Review comments at @Cargo.toml:
- Around line 184-189: Add a target-architecture guard next to the `inproc`
module declaration in the align module so enabling `aligner-bwa-mem3` on
architectures other than x86_64 or aarch64 produces a clear compile-time error.
Correct the `Cargo.toml` dependency comment to clarify that the dependency is
target-gated and unsupported feature use is rejected by that guard.

Review comments at @src/lib/pipeline/steps/align/inproc/cohort.rs:
- Around line 223-227: Update `cohort.rs` to use the `IdBases` re-export from
`super::engine` instead of naming `bwa_mem3_rs` directly. Change the `id_bases`
return type and constructor, plus the `PairWork` field and any corresponding
test references, while keeping `engine.rs` as the sole module that names the
binding crate.

…s' tags

With mixed single-end/paired input, bwa's even-read-count -K chunk cut can
land between a pair's two reads; with -p smart pairing bwa then aligns
them as two unpaired reads and emits them back to back under the pair's
name. The subprocess reader failed on that output. It now recognizes the
shape (no record paired, exactly two primaries) and splits the pair's
unmapped template to match, clearing each half's pairing bits so the
zipper merge copies each read's own tags and QC-fail flag.

The split is accepted only from the bwa and bwa-mem3 presets, which run
`mem -p -K`; a free-form --aligner::command keeps the loud "multiple
primaries" error, since the same shape from an aligner that never pairs
would otherwise split every pair silently.

Also cap a preset's --aligner::chunk-size at i32::MAX: bwa parses -K with
atoi into an int. And add a subprocess align/merge guard
(tests/align_subprocess_split_parity.rs) that runs the preset over a
fixture of substitutions, indels, unmappable, chimeric, discordant,
repeat and zero-length reads with RX tags, checks every read keeps its
tags (including across a forced mid-pair split), and that the output is
identical across --threads values; it runs where a bwa-mem3 binary is
available and skips otherwise.
…eep mimalloc from purging

- The bwa-mem3 preset now runs `bwa-mem3 mem --bam=0`, so fgumi's single
  reader thread takes records zero-copy instead of parsing SAM text, which
  at 32 threads kept bwa-mem3 blocked on its output (a fused extract ->
  correct -> align ran 36% faster). The merged records are identical.
- With an align stage, runall sets mimalloc's purge delay to -1 (never
  return freed pages to the OS) unless MIMALLOC_PURGE_DELAY or its legacy
  name is set (any case, as mimalloc matches them), and passes the same
  setting to the aligner child through its environment. The per-batch
  buffer churn otherwise costs hundreds of thousands of page faults. The
  setting is process-wide, so later stages keep freed pages too;
  measured end to end (extract through simplex consensus, 1M pairs, 32
  threads, with and without a spilling sort) it is ~4% faster for ~0.4 GB
  more peak RSS. The setter lives next to the existing mimalloc FFI in
  fgumi-sort's memory_probe (CLAUDE.md allowlist updated); the option
  index is pinned by a test against mimalloc v3's 1000 ms default.
…d the AlignEngine abstraction

The foundation of an in-process bwa-mem3 aligner backend, behind a new
off-by-default `aligner-bwa-mem3` cargo feature that pulls bwa-mem3-rs
0.3.0 (the vendored bwa-mem3 C++, C++17 toolchain required; target-gated
to x86_64/aarch64) and makes mimalloc interpose the C allocator for it.

- inproc::cohort: the parity-critical pure logic the steps will need to
  reproduce `bwa-mem3 mem -p -K` exactly: the -K even-read-count cohort
  cut, the per-cohort SE/PE layout that -p smart pairing produces, and
  the per-sub-batch read-id bases, each pinned by a proptest against a
  literal Rust port of the upstream rule.
- inproc::engine: the AlignEngine trait over bwa-mem3-rs's three-phase
  API (seed/extend, per-cohort pestat, pair/emit), the BwaMem3Engine
  implementation, and a test fake; plus an env-gated smoke test against
  a real index.
- inproc::gate: the cohort-granularity in-flight gate and its lease,
  with the refill signal the refill-drain scheduler reads.
- inproc::scratch: the per-pool-thread aligner scratch pool.

Nothing is wired into runall yet (the steps and the backend follow), so
the module carries a scoped dead_code allow. A new `aligner-ffi` CI job
builds the feature on x86_64 and arm64 and runs its tests, pedantic
clippy and rustdoc.
