This puzzle is for zetamath's most recent setting challenge. If you'd like any hints, feel free to post a hidden comment below or message me on Discord. Comments and ratings are much appreciated, and please be sure to check out my other puzzles here.
Rules:
Each row and column contains the digits 0–9 once each. Four digits belong to a set, four other digits belong to a different set, another digit belongs to both sets, and a final digit belongs to neither set. No more than two digits from the same set may be adjacent in a row or column. Digits in a cage cannot repeat. A cage has two clues: one gives the sum of the digits that belong to one set, and the other gives the sum of the digits that belong to the other set. The order of the clues is arbitrary.
For example, one set could contain 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5; the other set could contain 1, 4, 6, 7, and 8; and 9 would belong to neither set. If a cage contained the digits 1, 2, 4, and 9, one clue would be 3 (1+2) and the other clue would be 5 (1+4).
Puzzle:
Solution code: Enter Row 10 (left to right) and Column 10 (top to bottom) (20 digits, no spaces)

What a cracker, thanks. Reached parts of the brain that most other puzzles don't reach.

Great puzzle. I also struggled a bit with scanning during the mid-solve, but everything works out very nicely in the end. Thank you!

Excellent puzzle once again, @mathpesto. Lots of really cool, and very original logic.
