A developer who had been away from KDE for 15 years has returned to contribute a fix for Plasma Pass on Plasma 6.8, where the password popup was tiny and nearly unusable. Using Claude Code, they traced the bug to missing preferred dimensions in QML and fixed it with two lines of code. The change was tested on Fedora 45, passed continuous integration, and the merge request is now under review.
