Summary

Added new compiler capabilities such as default values for expect/actual annotation constructors, crossinline suspend lambdas, default arguments for expected declarations, @JvmDefault annotation, and warnings for outdated stdlib artifacts.
Improved performance and code generation, including use of lcmp instruction, optimized for‑loop with withIndex, reduced memory footprint of KotlinBinaryClassCache, and IDE speed gains for Spring projects.
Fixed a wide range of bugs across compiler, IDE, Gradle/KTS handling, inspections and refactorings, addressing incorrect bytecode, warning messages, SAM conversion issues, and crashes in intentions and quick‑fixes.
