@Playmaker6174: I'm really pleased you enjoyed the arrow interactions with the help of the non-consecutive constraint. :-)

Since the non-consecutive constraint is very restrictive and 3-cell arrows are also fairly restrictive, I tried to use more 2-cell arrows to balance out the logic from the two constraints.

A full hour of back and forth deductions, it's so stunning with how much the arrows can restrict each other. What an intricate puzzle :)
