Custom Kotlin DSL - Colour Encoding in Intellij

Very trivial problem but hoping someone who knows intellij better than me can explain why Intellij colours 1 of my Customer Kotlin DSLs purple but another one as Orange.

Same Codebase, Same Pattern/Logic using the the 'DSLMarker' Annotation (Extended) with DSL Builders. I can't see why Intellij would treat these differently. Thanks.

This is coloured purple

This is coloured Orange

Kotlin - autocomplete on 2026.02

I posted a few weeks back about this (pretty big) regression issue and how i needed to downgrade version but now attempting again the new release again as there was a patch version. basically, seeing the same intermittent issue where the kotlin lookup fails completely and a simple restart (no cache invalidation) of the IDE did not fix the issue nor does a full cache invalidation i have found - the option is gone.

Note that this feature was working on 2026.02 up until about 1 hour ago and i am now unable to get the feature working again

the issue

when you explicitly write the name of the variable it then works (i've scrolled down the menu popup).

note the 'AI' autocomplete finds the variable

attempting to find the param of this method also fails but you see the ai autocomplete finds it.

Another project but same issue - note its not finding the variable

can't find testPublisher

had to downgrade from 2026.2

issue with autocompletion not providing to complete all variable name in context - strangely AI auto-complete worked but the 'native' autocomplete didn't provide the same variables but when manually entered it allowed further lookup on the non-provided object/variable.

completed a restart with no resolution - has become unusable so will await first patch release before re-attempting

Further Clarification: This was vanilla Kotlin code.

AI tools - Cost per month spend

Bit of craic - what is the largest monthly monetary costs that you have heard that a company (any size) spending on AI tokens - i.e. actually money being paid out for the tool.

For us, it is 100USD a month for 2 developers approx (Intellij that includes top-up credits).. FYI - we need to topup before using the token so no chance of us running some agent that costs us 10000s
