What does "passes" in MIRA mean?

Question

Guys, how are you? Could you help me with this question?

When reading the MIRA assembler manual, I noticed that it has a parameter called "passes". My interpretation is that "passes" would be the number of times that MIRA would be executed, improving with each "pass". I am wrong?

Passes defines how many iterations of the whole assembly process are done. Default is 0. Default 0 lets MIRA choose automatically the number of passes and the kmer sizes used in each pass
