Uncertainty

I have prepared a set of 10 puzzles following the common theme of "Uncertainty". I am releasing the puzzles here on a daily basis, but if you are impatient, the full set can be found at this link. Each puzzle is a combination of two variants, but it is unknown in which parts of the grid each variant applies - that is to be determined during solving.

General Rules: Place a digit from 1-9 into each cell of the grid so that every row, column and outlined 3x3 region contains each digit exactly once.

Outside: Digits appearing in clues must be placed in the first three cells in the corresponding direction.

Next to nine: Clues give all digits that are directly adjacent to the 9 within the given row or column.

Combination Rule: In this puzzle, each clue follows either Outside Sudoku rules, or Next to Nine Sudoku rules, or both.
