February 2026 — Kotlin LSP module delivered meaningful reliability, usability, and maintainability improvements. Key features include a refined LSP diagnostic blacklist segregating inspections and quick-fix suggestions to reduce noise and improve context-aware edits; enhanced observability with granular logging, per-category levels, and expanded diagnostics visibility; and a major but safe codebase cleanup that improves consistency, testing, and packaging without altering core functionality. A temporary workaround preserved access to Java sources and JAR dependencies amid FakePackageIndexImpl issues to maintain workflow continuity until a permanent fix is implemented. Collectively, these changes reduced troubleshooting time, increased developer productivity, and positioned the project for smoother future iterations.
