Commands

Every command is available as las and as localalibiscan. FOLDER defaults to the current folder.

las files	List the files that would be analysed, with extension and size (respects .gitignore; large and binary files are marked).
las check	Show only the folder verdict and its evidence.
las scan	Analyse a project and show its profile: every claim with its status and evidence.
las dashboard	Dashboard of every project under a folder; --html writes ~/.localalibi/dashboard.html.
las refresh	Analyse again and show what changed since the previous analysis.
las history	List previous analyses with a one-line summary each.
las explain	Explain this project: fixed questions answered with facts (and optional local AI).
las ask	Ask a question: deterministic search first; the optional local model answers only from the evidence.
