• Improved GenBank file read performance by ~25%:
  • Improved feature location handling internals with vectorized validation and parsing paths.
  • Reduced overhead in read_gbk() feature and sequence extraction by reusing vectorized intermediates.
  • Updated write-path validation to validate location vectors in one pass for better performance and consistent errors.
  • Expanded internal test coverage for vectorized location validation, including scalar/vector error parity checks.
