Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Some of the purple lines are renban lines, and must contain a set of unique consecutive digits in any order.
However, some of the purple lines are instead two renbans split/adjoined at that renban's midpoint. These split/adjoined renbans must both contain the SAME set of unique consecutive digits, not necessarily in the same order.
For example, the purple line that starts in r6c2 could simply be a 7 cell renban line or it could be two 4 cell renban lines containing the SAME digits. In the latter case, one would contain cells from r6c2 to r3c3 and the other would contain cells from r2c6 to r3c3.
Which renbans are split/adjoined and which are standard renbans is to be determined by the solver.

Stunning puzzle! Loved how it flowed from corner to corner, and the break-in (especially to get the bottom right line) was gorgeous. Thanks for such an amazing puzzle!

Very interesting twist on standard renban rules! Interesting logic throughout, even after the break-in

Some of the purple lines are renban lines?
also nicht alle?

purpl/Memeristor: Yes, some (not all) lines can be thought of as two renbans containing the same set of digits.
das war nicht die Frage , meine Frage war, ob alle Purple Linien Renban Linien sind (ob nun 1 oder 2)

Added split wherever adjoined appeared to be more clear that the two renbans may or may not share a cell.
