Architecture

The architecture section explains how fq-compressor is assembled from parsing, analysis, compression, storage, and access components. It focuses on boundaries and data flow so readers can understand the system without reading every source file.

Section purpose

• Describe the major subsystems and why they are separated
• Show where compression, indexing, and random access responsibilities live
• Connect public concepts to implementation areas in the repository

What this section should answer

• How FASTQ input moves through the pipeline into an FQC archive
• Which components own format concerns, algorithms, and command orchestration
• Where to look in the codebase for deeper detail

Continue with

• Pipeline for compression and decompression flow boundaries
• FQC format and random access for archive layout and block lookup
• I/O and memory for buffering and memory-budget behavior
• Academy for operator-facing workflows
• Research for source, specs, and supporting material
