During March 2026, contributed to the bitfocus/companion repository by implementing a TCP-based command that enables remote retrieval of custom variable values. This feature expanded the API’s capabilities, allowing external systems to access runtime data over TCP and supporting enhanced automation and integration scenarios. The work involved designing a network protocol extension, focusing on robust error handling and maintainable commit practices. Utilizing TypeScript for development, the implementation emphasized clarity and scalability in API development. No major bugs were addressed during this period, with efforts concentrated on delivering a single, well-structured feature that improved the operability and remote control potential of the platform.
