June 2025: Delivered core Kotlin Analysis API and LSP improvements focused on context parameter handling, API stability, and maintainability. Implemented context parameter bridges and enabled stable testing via KaContextParameterApi, migrated relevant tests, and extended compiler configuration to support context parameters in the language server. Strengthened API reliability with race-condition fixes, improved fake override handling, and support for multiple iterations over supertypes. Completed internal PSI module refactor and ownership realignment to the Analysis API team, and published comprehensive development guidelines to standardize API design and documentation. Deprecated or hidden Kotlin-originated synthetic properties to align with compiler changes and prevent autocompletion inconsistencies.
