Quite happy with how this turned out!
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits along thermometers must strictly increase starting from the bulb.
Solution code: Column 6, then box 9 (left to right, top to bottom)

Such an elegant break-in! Tricky midsolve but I felt like I was always making progress :) Helps to remember sudoku basics at times too (lol). Really really fun puzzle, thank you!

I almost just want to start puzzle over again, it was so surprising to solve and delightful how it folded in on itself and collapsed.
--Thank you so much!

Can't comment now, I have to go bandage my chin. I scraped it on the floor, because that's how far my jaw dropped solving this puzzle.
