Sonohoshi contributed to the planetarium/NineChronicles repository by delivering robust UI and simulation features, including a full Costume Summon UI integration and an Arena Simulation Toolkit for comprehensive testing. He applied C# and Unity to refactor and modularize summoning flows, introduced cross-platform URL handling with an iOS Objective-C plugin, and enhanced localization and asset management. His technical approach emphasized maintainable prefab-based architectures, configuration-driven UI updates, and rigorous test infrastructure. By consolidating simulation editors and improving backend validation, Sonohoshi addressed reliability and usability challenges, resulting in smoother user experiences and a more maintainable codebase across both front-end and backend systems.

April 2025 (Month: 2025-04) – Delivered cross-platform iOS URL handling enhancement for NineChronicles. Key feature: iOS-specific URL opening plugin with a cross-platform abstraction that replaces Application.OpenURL with Helper.Util.OpenURL, enabling consistent behavior across platforms and room for custom iOS logic. No major bugs fixed this month. Impact: improved reliability and consistency of URL handling across platforms, reducing platform drift and support overhead, and laying groundwork for a modular plugin architecture. Technologies/skills demonstrated: iOS plugin development, cross-platform abstraction patterns, refactoring for maintainable code, and disciplined version control.

December 2024 monthly summary: Delivered robust Arena Simulation Toolkit integrating SimulationEditor, rune and collection state support, and equipment handling with dedicated testing UI and BattleSimulation UI to enable thorough arena testing and debugging. Replaced the legacy simulation editor with a GraphQL Avatar State Query Editor to generate queries for avatar state, inventory, runes, rune slots, and collections for focused state inspection. Implemented UI enhancements for staking rewards display and extended Workshop mail with CustomCraft MailType for improved message visibility. Strengthened testing infrastructure and logging with isolated test scenes, improved logging, updated build/test flags, and cleanup to boost reliability and debugging efficiency. Fixed Arena Simulation Costume Handling to ensure only equipped costumes are included in simulations. In lib9c, added RuneSlotInfo validation to prevent invalid rune references and introduced unit tests for RuneNotFoundException to improve robustness and readability.
