+
+#### Smart updates
+
+Vue ECharts analyses each change to `option` before invoking `setOption`:
+
+- Removed config objects (`legend`, `tooltip`, etc.) are replaced with `null` automatically so ECharts clears them.
+- Removed arrays (`series`, `dataset`, …) are converted to empty arrays and marked via `replaceMerge` so old data disappears.
+- If the diff looks risky (shrinking `options`/`media`, dropping scalar values), the component falls back to `notMerge: true` to rebuild the chart safely.
+- Supplying `update-options` (or providing it via inject) bypasses the planner and uses your configuration as-is.
+
+Reactive updates use this logic by default. Manual `setOption` calls (only available when `manual-update` is `true`) behave like native ECharts (apart from slot patching) and honour only the per-call override you provide.

+
+### 智能更新
+
+Vue ECharts 在调用 `setOption` 之前会分析每次 `option` 变化：
+
+- 删除顶层对象（如 `legend`、`tooltip` 等）时，会自动写入 `null`，让 ECharts 清空旧配置。
+- 移除数组（如 `series`、`dataset` 等）时，会写入空数组并通过 `replaceMerge` 清除旧数据。
+- 如果检测到风险较高的变更（`options`/`media` 缩小、标量被删除等），会退回到 `notMerge: true` 以保证安全。
+- 如果提供了 `update-options`（或注入了默认值），会直接使用该配置并跳过智能计划。
+
+默认情况下响应式更新都会使用这套逻辑。手动调用 `setOption`（仅当 `manual-update` 为 `true` 时可用）与原生 ECharts 一致，仅应用你在本次调用中传入的更新参数。
