Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure that reports [Errno 24] while opening the temporary FASTA file /tmp/tmps9os6anr.fasta. Trace where temporary FASTA files are created and closed, then verify that repeated processing does not exhaust file descriptors. The issue names no source file or test, so identify the relevant entry point and add or run a regression check for repeated temporary-file handling.
