I really enjoyed that break in. Thank you.

Thank you for this nice puzzle, egubachu! I have given 4 stars difficulty as well and my solving experience seems to resemble that one of Playmaker6174. After taking some time for the break-in, I got a lot of the grid going and reached a point where each clue seemed to have exactly two options left. I lost patience and made a guess hoping to run into a contradiction that might lead me towards logic that I had not appreciated. Unfortunately, I had guessed right and went on to solve all of the rest. I think it would be worth if you pointed out the endgame strategy (especially for Boxes 1-3) in a hidden comment.

Thank you so much for leaving a comment, @Playmaker6174. The feedback is much appreciated! I was actually quite proud that the ending wasn't a triviality, but it is definitely not meant to be bifurcated. The logic kind of progresses clockwise around the puzzle, and the final part of the solve should have some similarities with a previous part with different constraints, but perhaps the digits to enter the final part were a bit harder to spot.
I must also say that I'm still calibrating how many stars to give a new puzzle here. I'm new here and once I gave a puzzle four stars, which definitely wasn't that difficult, and perhaps in this case I underestimated it.
Either way, thank you for your thoughtful comment. Your feedback definitely counts!

Jeez, that was *way* harder than 3 stars. I really want to love this puzzle entirely (especially how that opening works), but it's the parts near the end that dragged the entire experience down for me because I couldn't find anything nice for those parts and eventually had to bifurcate to proceed.

Very nice! Congratulations on your first 3-star solve @latters176!

1:24.18 for me - although I'm definitely a beginner! First 3* puzzle I've solved, lovely logical path, thanks for making it!
