(Published on 22. December 2021, 00:00 by Richard)
Friendly Parity Sandwich Sudoku
Solve online in F-Puzzles or in CtC-app (thanks RockyRoer!) or in Penpa+ (thx SudokuExplorer!)
Apply classic sudoku rules.
Clues outside the grid indicate all digits in the corresponding row or column that have - on both sides - neighbours of the same parity as the digit itself. Clues are placed in ascending order and not necessarily in the order they appear in the grid.
Solution code: Row 1, followed by column 8.

Rule clarifying question: If a number is at the border of a row and only has one neighbour, will it still be noted on the outside of the grid if the neighbour is of the same parity?
---
Digits on the border only have a neighbour on one side and will therefore never be mentioned as clue outside the grid. :-)

@Richard: I can probably guess what that means... I look forward to it! :-)
Btw the following parity-themed ruleset by Thorsby might be suitable for your SVS: id=0007KX

@AppleSaws Here is an example: the row of digits 132465798 would have the numbers 4 (even number sandwiched by two even numbers) & 7 (odd number sandwiched by two odd numbers) as outside clues.
