Exploded Compass Sudoku

(Published on 28. February 2021, 09:00 by stephane.bura)

Every row, column and irregular region must contain the digits from 0 to 8.
You must draw the nine contiguous regions.

If there is an arrow in a cell, the digit in that cell equals the total number of cells belonging to the region the arrow comes from that are in the direction of the arrow.

For instance, if r1c2 was 5, as it contains an arrow pointing to the left, this would mean that the region containing r1c3 would have 5 cells that are to the left of r1c3.

All the possible arrows are given.

Enjoy!

I at several points felt quite uncertain about my deductions, but I came stumbling through in the end! Very nice, but not particularly easy!

The entry was not easy to find (specifically, not the first but the second step of it, making the first step seem like a red herring initially) - but after that I more or less guessed my way to the solution at some speed (without even needing the negative constraint), for the long strings of arrows are a bit conspicuous...
