Draw a single non-intersecting loop passing through all circled cells.
The loop must turn on black circles and travel straight through the cells on either side. The loop must go straight through white circles, and turn in at least one of the cells on either side.
All black and white circles are given.
You can try this on
Penpa+ or
PuzzLink. Enjoy!
Solution code: For each row, enter the number of cells NOT part of the loop.

Nice idea using the negative constraint.

Great puzzle. Having trouble wrapping my head around what I guess is a negative constraint.

This is a very nice conception. Thank you, SudokuExplorer!
