Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits in cells separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
Digits in cells separated by a black dot must have a 2:1 ratio.
(No negative constraint - digits in adjacent cells not separated by a dot may still be consecutive or have a 2:1 ratio.)

This puzzle is from a series of "nerd snipe" constructions, originally posted on the CTC fan discord server. This is the fewest dots known to give a unique solution in a givenless Kropki Pairs puzzle. (For Kropki Sudoku with a negative constraint, only one dot is needed!) It is currently unknown if this is minimal.
Solution code: Row 9, followed by column 9

Wonderful and astounding puzzle! It kind of baffled me at first but once I went deeper, the solve path unfolded itself beautifully, especially that one final breakthrough. ;)
