What changed: recent Understand-Anything releases
- All UI strings (sidebar, code viewer, search, tours, mobile layout) routed through I18nProvider.
- New: Russian (ru) joins the existing locales. MobileLayout is now wrapped in the provider so mobile screens localize too.
- Output language read from the same outputLanguage config key for consistency between generated content and chrome.
- KIMI CLI (#134) — install + skill plumbing.
- Cline (#116) — install + skill plumbing.
- Hermes (#91) — open-source agent compatibility, README refresh.
- Containers: layer-detail nodes are grouped by folder (Louvain community detection as fallback when folders are too flat). Each container renders as a translucent gold-bordered atom with the folder…
- Two-stage lazy layout: Stage 1 lays out container atoms only (~125ms even at 500 nodes). Stage 2 runs ELK per container on demand — when you click, when you zoom past 1.0, or when…
- Edge aggregation: cross-container edges collapse into a single weighted edge with count. Expanding a container inflates them back to file→file. Edges anchored to collapsed containers stay anchored…
- Visual overlays: containers light up for search hits (count badge), diff impact (red border), and focus/selection (gold border).
- Keyboard accessible: containers are real disclosure buttons (role="button", aria-expanded, Enter/Space).
- Performance: dashboard main bundle stays at ~62KB gzipped (ELK split into a parallel-loaded chunk).
- article-analyzer — extracts implicit knowledge from wiki articles: entities (people, tools, papers), claims (decisions, assertions), and semantic edges (buildson, contradicts, exemplifies,…
- assemble-reviewer — post-merge quality reviewer that recovers dropped nodes/edges, remaps unknown types, and verifies cross-batch consistency
- IgnoreFilter — runtime filtering with hardcoded defaults (nodemodules, build outputs, lock files, binaries) plus layered .understandignore files from .understand-anything/ and project root
- IgnoreGenerator — auto-generates a starter .understandignore by parsing your existing .gitignore and detecting project directories
- New Phase 0.5 in the /understand workflow pauses for user confirmation after generating the ignore file
- Subdomain graph merging (Phase 0) — merges multiple domain-specific graphs into one unified graph with deduplication
- New /understand-domain skill extracts business domain knowledge using a dedicated domain-analyzer agent
- Domain graph view in the dashboard with a view mode toggle pill to switch between architecture and domain graphs
- Custom node components: DomainClusterNode, FlowNode, StepNode with domain-aware NodeInfo sidebar
- Domain overview and detail drill-down views with auto-widened spacing for long edge labels
- New core types: domain, flow, step node types and domain-specific edge types
- saveDomainGraph / loadDomainGraph persistence functions in core
- Node type category filter controls
- File type breakdown in ProjectOverview
- New node/edge type support in NodeInfo sidebar
- 8 new node type colors across all theme presets
- Code viewer overlay height reduced to avoid blocking graph nodes
- All 5 agents updated for non-code file analysis
