:tada: Gradle 9.1.0 is out! <https://docs.gradle.org/9.1.0/release-notes.html>

I don't know how to interpret <https://docs.gradle.org/9.1.0/release-notes.html#task-graph-visualization|this>

```./gradlew root r2 --task-graph```
what do `root` and `r2` mean here?

I'm not in proximity to a computer rn, but I think I got it: 
• `root` should be clear from the example: it is the task `:root` in the sample output
• `r2` is short for `:root2` that is also in the output

ok... I thought that might be the case but some more narrative would be useful.

Is the console colored only the command line? Possible to have it in gradle.properties?

<@UL4089YRX> You can also set it using `org.gradle.console` in `gradle.properties` see <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_environment.html#gradle_properties_reference>

I had to remind myself once again how to interpret this. I strongly suggest someone rewrite those docs to reference _actual tasks_ that build maintainers might be familiar with, like `jar`, `classes`, etc

the docs as they exist have all the problems of "foo" and "bar" without the advantage that programmers are at least familiar with "foo" and "bar" as nonsense stand-in words

I'm pretty sure I'm not getting the full task graph. I guess it cuts it off after a certain depth? is that configurable?

It should produce the full graph. The command takes data directly from the execution plan. If you find a scenario where this is not true, please open an issue in the gradle repo.
