Part of #1. Depends on #5.
Scope
Once chr22 MAPQ ≥99% via the full-descent path, promote it to default. The current independent-then-rescue path becomes the legacy fallback.
Deliverables
Exit criterion
- New default produces ≥99% MAPQ on chr22 in CI.
- Default-path wall time within 2× of current baseline.
- All existing tests pass.
Risks
- Making joint-descent the default changes wall time (~3× of current baseline). Some users may prefer the faster legacy path; `--legacy-paired` keeps that available.
- The legacy path becomes dead-but-not-dead code. Need clear deprecation messaging.
