Changelog Entry
To be copied to the draft changelog by merger:
vg giraffe
should no longer produce final mappings with nonzero offsets or other wrong answers when a read tail doubles back on itself.Description
This should fix the problem Zilan reported where a read couldn't be converted to GAF, because it had an offset on its last mapping, because when the flipped right tail was aligned right-anchored it doubled back onto the anchoring node and the extra cut-off part wasn't accounted for when translating back to the base graph.
I'm also adding more asserts, because we wouldn't have ever noticed this in GAM output mode, only GAF.
