" summary

Built an IntelliJ/Android Studio plugin that makes Litho a first‑class IDE citizen by adding file generation and on‑the‑fly warnings, code completion, file templates and navigation hooks; analysis uses logging and research with 20 developers observed (45–90 min sessions plus surveys) and reveals navigation is the top‑used feature despite expectations about completion. Plugin lives in the Litho repo, supports in‑memory generated files, is testable, and is already published to the IntelliJ marketplace.
