Star Nurikabe?

(Published on 24. September 2021, 09:17 by BenceJoful)

(Almost) Standard 2-star Star Battle and Nurikabe rules apply.

Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one connected area.
No 2x2 region of cells may be entirely shaded.
Each clue is unshaded.
Each unshaded area contains exactly 1 clue and 2 stars, and each row and column contains 2 stars.
Stars must be unshaded, and cannot touch each other (even diagonally) or overlap a clue.

Example (Penpa+ link):

Solution code:

Along lines A and B: for each continuous set of shaded cells, put the length of the set. For a star, put *.

In the above example, the solution code is *6**111*2.
