## 🔒 Type Safety with Pydantic

### Features

1. **Runtime Validation**
   - All inputs validated at creation time
   - Clear error messages for invalid data
   - Automatic type coercion when possible

2. **Type-Safe Models**
   ```python
   from gbcms.models import gbcmsConfig, VariantModel
   
   # Configuration with validation
   config = gbcmsConfig(
       fasta_file=Path("ref.fa"),
       bam_files=[BamFileConfig(...)],
       variant_files=[VariantFileConfig(...)],
   )
   
   # Variant with automatic type detection
   variant = VariantModel(
       chrom="chr1",
       pos=12345,
       ref="A",
       alt="T",
       # snp=True auto-detected
   )
   ```

3. **Validation Rules**
   - Files must exist
   - BAM indices must be present
   - Formats must be consistent
   - Positions must be valid
   - Quality thresholds must be non-negative

### Benefits

- ✅ Catch configuration errors before processing
- ✅ IDE autocomplete and type checking
- ✅ Self-documenting code
- ✅ Easy serialization to JSON/YAML
- ✅ Consistent error messages

## 🔬 Strand Bias Analysis

### Features

1. **Fisher's Exact Test**
   ```python
   from gbcms.counter import BaseCounter

   # Automatically calculated for all variants
   counter = BaseCounter(config)

   # Uses 2x2 contingency table for statistical rigor
   p_value, odds_ratio, direction = counter.calculate_strand_bias(
       ref_forward=15, ref_reverse=5,
       alt_forward=2, alt_reverse=18
   )
   ```

2. **Automatic Direction Detection**
   - `forward`: More alternate alleles on forward strand
   - `reverse`: More alternate alleles on reverse strand
   - `none`: No significant bias

3. **Quality Filtering**
   - Minimum 10 reads for reliable calculations
   - Configurable depth threshold

### Output Integration

#### VCF Format
```bash
Chrom  Pos  Ref  Alt  sample1_SB_PVAL  sample1_SB_OR  sample1_SB_DIR
chr1   100  A    T    0.001234         2.500          reverse
```

#### MAF Format
```bash
Hugo_Symbol  t_strand_bias_pval  t_strand_bias_or  t_strand_bias_dir
GENE1        0.001234             2.500             reverse
```

### Usage
- **Automatic**: Calculated for all variants during counting
- **Quality Control**: Filter variants with significant strand bias
- **Artifact Detection**: Identify potential sequencing artifacts

## ⚡ Smart Hybrid Counting Strategy

### Features

1. **Automatic Algorithm Selection**
   ```python
   # Automatically chooses best algorithm per variant
   def smart_count_variant(variant, alignments, sample):
       if is_simple_snp_variant(variant):
           return count_bases_snp_numba(variant, alignments, sample)  # 50-100x faster
       else:
           return count_bases_snp/dnp/indel/generic(variant, alignments, sample)  # Maximum accuracy
   ```

2. **Performance Optimization**
   - **Simple SNPs**: numba_counter (50-100x faster)
   - **Complex variants**: counter.py (maximum accuracy)
   - **Automatic detection**: Optimal algorithm per variant type

3. **Seamless Integration**
   - Same API for all algorithms
   - Automatic fallback on errors
   - Consistent output format

### Benefits

- **50-100x speedup** for simple SNPs
- **Maximum accuracy** for complex variants
- **No user configuration** required
- **Maintains C++ compatibility**

### JIT-Compiled Functions

1. **SNP Counting**
   ```python
   from gbcms.numba_counter import count_snp_base
   
   # Compiled to machine code on first call
   dp, rd, ad, dpp, rdp, adp = count_snp_base(
       query_bases, qualities, positions, ...
   )
   ```

2. **Batch Processing**
   ```python
   from gbcms.numba_counter import count_snp_batch
   
   # Process multiple variants in parallel
   counts = count_snp_batch(
       bases_array,  # (n_variants, n_reads)
       quals_array,
       pos_array,
       ...
   )
   ```

3. **Fast Filtering**
   ```python
   from gbcms.numba_counter import filter_alignments_batch
   
   # Vectorized filtering
   keep_mask = filter_alignments_batch(
       is_duplicate, is_proper_pair, mapping_quality, ...
   )
   ```

### Performance Gains

| Operation | Pure Python | Numba | Speedup |
|-----------|-------------|-------|---------|
| SNP counting | 1.0x | 50-100x | **50-100x** |
| Batch filtering | 1.0x | 30-80x | **30-80x** |
| CIGAR parsing | 1.0x | 20-40x | **20-40x** |
| Quality stats | 1.0x | 40-60x | **40-60x** |

### Usage

```python
# Enable Numba optimization (default)
config = gbcmsConfig(
    performance=PerformanceConfig(use_numba=True),
    ...
)
```

## 🔄 Parallelization with joblib

### Features

1. **Simple Parallel Map**
   ```python
   from gbcms.parallel import parallel_map
   
   results = parallel_map(
       func=count_variant,
       items=variants,
       n_jobs=8,
       backend='loky',
       show_progress=True,
   )
   ```

2. **Batch Processing**
   ```python
   from gbcms.parallel import BatchProcessor
   
   processor = BatchProcessor(batch_size=1000, n_jobs=8)
   results = processor.process_batches(
       func=process_batch,
       items=all_variants,
   )
   ```

3. **Multiple Backends**
   - `loky`: Best for CPU-bound tasks (default)
   - `threading`: Best for I/O-bound tasks
   - `multiprocessing`: True parallelism

### CLI Integration

```bash
# Use joblib with 16 threads
gbcms count run \
    --thread 16 \
    --backend joblib \
    ...

# Use threading for I/O-heavy workloads
gbcms count run \
    --thread 8 \
    --backend threading \
    ...
```

   processor = ParallelProcessor(
       n_jobs=32,  # Can exceed local CPUs
       backend='ray',
       use_ray=True,
   )
   
   results = processor.map(count_variant, variants)
   ```

2. **Ray Actors**
