usually find negative XV to be a bit of a slog, but having done a lot in a row recently, a lot more fun once I'm in the groove and can see them more easily

Great setup! Crazy that it works with those constraints. It took some time and patience, and applying lots of logic, and more Goodliffes and Goodlaughs! Thanks for the puzzle!
-- Thanks @RedBarchetta, I wasn't sure what the response would be to this puzzle. I really struggled with the construction, many revisions and lots of testing, so I'm very happy to see all the positive comments :-)

Lovely puzzle. The early logic start was really beautiful, and the whole thing flowed well.
