February 2026 monthly summary for BoundaryML/baml: Implemented and delivered major Inlay Hints System Enhancements for the LSP, with inlay hints for let statements and function call parameters, including type hints, goto-definition navigation, quick edits, and improved type inference caching. Added filtering to suppress hints for compiler-generated functions and introduced a heuristic to avoid parameter-name hints when the argument path already contains the parameter name. Fixed multi-line call argument hints positioning. Added end-to-end tests and fixtures to validate inlay hints across real code paths. Overall impact: cleaner editor UX, more accurate hints, faster navigation, and improved developer productivity. Technologies demonstrated: LSP integration, inlay hints, type inference optimization, AST/HIR mapping, automated testing.
