During their recent work, Jakub Smolka enhanced the Cairo Language Server in the software-mansion/cairols and starkware-libs/cairo repositories by implementing literal-level hover functionality, allowing developers to view type and value information for numeric, string, and short string literals directly in the IDE. This feature was developed using Rust and the Language Server Protocol, with a focus on robust rendering logic and comprehensive test coverage to ensure reliability. Jakub also contributed to the software-mansion/scarb repository, where they improved build system accuracy by introducing a new dependency classification enum, resolving plugin misclassification issues and strengthening compiler metadata generation.
February 2025: Focused maintenance work on ScarB to ensure accurate dependency classification within compilation units. Delivered a targeted bug fix preventing plugin dependencies from being misclassified as library dependencies during build configuration and metadata generation. Introduced a new CompilationUnitDependency enum to cleanly distinguish between library and plugin dependencies, enabling safer builds and more reliable metadata. This reduces packaging errors and improves plugin resolution in downstream projects, while laying groundwork for future dependency handling enhancements and better observability.

Month: 2024-11 — Focused on improving IDE UX by enabling literal-level hovers in the Cairo Language Server across two repositories. Delivered hover functionality that shows type and value for numeric, string, and short string literals, with new rendering logic and comprehensive tests to verify behavior. No major bugs reported this period; feature work reduces lookup time and decision friction for developers. Technologies/skills demonstrated include language-server protocol usage, rendering pipelines for literals, test-driven development, and cross-repo collaboration.
