This puzzle won the 1 hour Liar Killer/Missing Arrow speed setting competition hosted on the CTC discord server. Join it to find out more about such things!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Liar Killer: Numbers must not repeat in a killer cage. The numbers in the cage must sum to the given total in the top left. There is exactly one cage in the grid where the condition is broken (either the sum is incorrect, or digits are repeated, or both). It is up to the solver to find out which cage is lying.
- Missing Arrow: The pink lines in the grid are incomplete arrows. The digit on one end of the line is the sum of the other digits on the same line.
Solution code: Row 9, Column 9

Very nice puzzle.
I struggle a bit to find the last true cage despite having tried the correct logic on the other cage.
I am impressed that you achieve a puzzle of this quality in such a short time. I still haven't finished the puzzle that I started during that competition.

Very clear logic, step by step to the end. (Although I made a low-level mistake in the middle of the process which caused the interruption)
