Cache-Invalidation Companion

Free

Caching Bugs

Warning on a .save(...) call inside a method whose class also has a hand-rolled Map-backed cache field (populated by a computeIfAbsent/manual containsKey+put "get-or-compute" pattern), when that method never touches the cache field.

The gap it fixes

Stale data served after a real update -- a silent inconsistency between what's written and what's read. No Marketplace plugin found dedicated to hand-rolled cache invalidation gaps, outside the @Cacheable ecosystem (which already has its own declarative invalidation mechanism).

Refactor Simulator
Refactoring Tools

Preview every refactoring before committing it. Simulates a rename in an isolated, in-memory sandbox (using IntelliJ's own PSI, Find Usages, and refactoring processors, never a custom engine) and shows a full impact report, deterministic validation, and a native side-by-side diff before anything touches a real file.

Highlight Companion
Code Complexity

A cognitive-complexity gutter icon for Java and Kotlin methods/functions: a colored badge with the real number, computed with SonarSource's documented Cognitive Complexity algorithm, never blocking the UI thread.

Error Lens Companion
Inline Diagnostics

Shows errors and warnings inline, at the end of the line that has them, instead of only as a gutter icon or a squiggly underline you have to hover to read. One hint per line (most severe diagnostic wins) so it never turns into unreadable clutter.

Feature Flag Reference Companion
Code Quality / Feature Flags

Gutter icon next to every recognized feature-flag-check call's key literal in Java/Kotlin code (isEnabled("checkout_v2"), variation("checkout_v2", false), and similar), showing how many times that exact key is referenced anywhere else in the open project: helps find orphaned flags (dead code left behind after a rollout completed) without connecting to any provider. 100
