ide-jsonrpc handled incoming notifications in order on a dedicated thread but started each incoming request on its own blocking task right away, so a request could be handled before a notification that arrived ahead of it. The mock language server in the ide-lsp tests answered `textDocument/references` before applying the `didOpen` of a file opened for a project-wide search (missing results, a search finishing before the test could cancel it or open the file), and on the client side an ACP `session/request_permission` could overtake the `session/update` that announced its tool call (ide-agent polled for up to 200 ms to cover it). A request now starts once every notification received before it has been handled; requests still run concurrently. The ide-agent polling is gone. Tests no longer depend on timing: - the references tests hold the mock's answer with a gate and cancel or open the file while it is held, instead of sleeping and measuring; - the indexing retry ends indexing once the first answer is out; - the crash/restart test counts Ready/Crashed statuses instead of reading the last one, which a restart can already have replaced; - the mock records a notification under the same lock as its effect, and `eventually` waits up to 30 s; - the TCP tests hold their port bound (not listening) instead of freeing it for another test to take, and listen only after the command started.

OpenIDEA brings the IntelliJ IDEA way of working — its keymap, its tool windows, its search-everything habits — to a native app with a Rust core.
Editor, code insight, debugger, Git, terminal, database and HTTP clients, for 60+ languages. Builds for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Benchmark
Opening freqtrade (Python, ~770 files) with warm caches, median of 5 runs:
| OpenIDEA | IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.3 | |
|---|---|---|
| Window with the project | 0.9 s | 3.1 s |
| Ready (CPU settled) | 1.1 s | 13.2 s |
| Memory (USS, all processes) | 169 MB | 2011 MB |
| CPU time until ready | 2.4 s | 47.9 s |
| Idle CPU | 4 % of a core | 7 % of a core |
| Quit | 0.3 s | 5.9 s |
A release build of OpenIDEA from main and IDEA with default settings and plugins, on
Windows 11, 32-core AMD, 62 GB RAM.
IDEA analyses Python more deeply, so "ready" doesn't mean the same work on
both sides. Both are measured from the outside, the same way: see
perf/compare to run it on your machine and projects.
Build
