Just in time for Easter, where we search hidden easter eggs, in this Fillomino there is a hidden Yajilin as well as a hidden Tapa. Can you find and solve them all?
First of all, the standard rules for these three puzzles:Divide the grid in areas. Areas of same size cannot touch orthogonally. A number indicates the size of the area she lies in.
Blacken some cells, such that every arrow points to the corresponding number of black cells. Blackened cells cannot touch orthagonally. Draw a closed loop through all other cells, which goes horizontally or vertically from cell to cell. Not every black cell has to be pointed on. Hint cells with numbers cannot be blackened.
Blacken some of the empty cells, such that all cells are orthagonally connected and no 2x2 area is completely black. Hint cells with numbers cannot be blackened.
Numbers indicate, how many of the (orthagonally and diagonally) neighboured cells are blackened: Every number stands for an orthagonally connected group of black cells, different groups are seperated by at least one non-black cell. Position and order of the numbers in one hint cell does not matter.
For clarification, here is an example.
Step 1: Solve the Fillomino.
Step 2: Get a Yajilin and solve it.
Step 3: Get a Tapa and solve it:
In this example, the solution code would be 111.
Now to the puzzle: For convenience, I've added empty grids for Yajilin and Tapa.
Solution code: For every row (top to bottom) the number of black cells in the Tapa solution.

Nice :)
On my first attempt it took me an hour and a half only to realise I'd messed up too much to recover, so I had to start from scratch and then it still took me another hour and a half to finaly correctly solve it.

@BMEP: I am not sure if digital solving is the best way for this puzzle, since it could probably get quite confusing. (That's why I didn't include a Penpa-Link :D)
@CJK: yeah... I can imagine, but that was the only way i had to attempt the puzzle (that I actually couldn't resolve (y̶e̶t̶ finally DONE!)) so since I had an online version, I decided share... but yeah... I agree that it can get a bit confusion, I also imagine that it would be a little bit easier to use the constraints together if I had the other boards, but the puzzle is being really fun nonetheless... thanks for the puzzle!
