Time Share

Calvinball made a comment on my last squish where the clues could be either numbered rooms or skyscrapers that he was waiting for Time Share. That inspired this numbered room/skyscraper duality. Thanks to testers and I hope you enjoy!
Squishdoku:
- Place the digits 1 through 9 once each in every 3x3 box, without repeats in any row or column. Cells on region borders (dashed lines) are shared between multiple boxes.
- All outside clues are both skyscraper AND numbered room clues.
Numbered Rooms:
- Outside digits must be placed in Nth position looking into the grid in the row/column, where N is the digit in the first position.
Skyscrapers:
- Clues outside the grid represent how many digits are 'seen' by the clue looking into its row/column. Digits are visible when they are larger than all digits before them.
All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!
Solution code: Box 9, left to right in reading order (9 digits)

Very cool puzzle! I like that the clues give more to work with than the single skyscrapers/numbered rooms and the clues last throughout the solve.
Squishdoku is also very fun! :) First time seeing it.

I always find squishdoku difficult, but I enjoyed this one. Nice interactions between the minimalist clues.
