## From README

/understand Analyze the current codebase and produce a knowledge-graph.json file in the project's data directory (.ua/, or the legacy .understand-anything/ when it already exists). This file powers the interactive dashboard for exploring the project's architecture. Options $ARGUMENTS may contain: --full — Force a full rebuild, ignoring any existing graph --auto-update — Enable automatic graph updates on commit (writes autoUpdate: true to $UADIR/config.json) --no-auto-update — Disable automatic graph updates (writes autoUpdate: false to $UADIR/config.json) --review — Run full LLM graph-reviewer instead of inline deterministic validation --language — Generate all textual content (summaries, descriptions, tags, titles, languageNotes, languageLesson) in the specified language. Accepts ISO 639-1 codes (zh, ja, ko, en, es, fr, de, etc.) or friendly names (chinese, japanese, korean, english, spanish, etc.). Locale variants supported: zh-TW, zh-HK, etc. Defaults to en (English).
