 #### Symbols, tests and the viewer
 
+- Kotlin functions and methods now carry their signature — `(params): ReturnType` — in `codegraph_explore`, `node` and the viewer, instead of no signature at all. Re-index Kotlin projects after upgrading. (#1495)
 - `codegraph affected` now finds Go, Python and JVM test files that previously went unreported, while preserving custom `--filter` behavior (thanks @danusha2345; #1507, #1688).
 
 - Calls inside declaration initializers in Kotlin, Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Scala, Rust and Python now appear under the declaration that owns them, making callers and impact results more accurate after re-indexing with `codegraph index -f` (thanks @danusha2345; #1510, #1511).
