I was inspired by the idea of using deadly patterns as a puzzle constraint. While these would usually result in a non-unique solution, I added a few more rules to make the answer unique. This is my first time submitting a puzzle, so feedback would be great!
Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Numbers in cages must sum to the number in the top left corner. White dots indicate that the two adjacent digits are consecutive. Black dots indicate that the two adjacent digits have a 1:2 ratio. X's indicate that the four adjacent cells form a deadly pattern (i.e. the four cells only have two unique digits). Cells that are a chess knight's move apart cannot have the same digit.
Solution code: Second and fifth row.

Very interesting opening and smooth solution path!
