June 2025: Delivered a stability and maintenance improvement in Kotlin/kotlin-lsp by upgrading the Ktor library to 3.1.3 and removing a custom SinkByteWriteChannel, relying on upstream library functionality. This reduces code complexity, minimizes maintenance effort, and positions the repository for smoother future upgrades. The change aligns with Kotlin/Ktor ecosystem updates and reduces technical debt in the I/O layer, improving overall reliability for LSP clients.
