Author's note:
I feel like this is kind of a 2.5 star puzzle. Gave it 2 stars to encourage people to try. There's a clue or two that are superfluous, but are there for aesthetic reasons. If you get stuck, it is probably because of the corners. I hope you enjoy(ed)!
Solution code: Row 8 from left to right (9 digits)

Very nice, I went with even/odds for the first half, was fine until then ..but noticed I had to switch to coloring to finish it off.
Went mostly smooth.
I'm more surprised that this sort of complexity is a 2 star puzzle :D

Nice looking puzzle with a cool breakthrough at the end :)

The ending was very well done.

Brilliant puzzle! Agree this is a 2.5 or so. I had to look at the puzzle for a few minutes but once I colored in phistomefel it clicked.

I only noticed phistomefel after coloring it, but a nice puzzle regardless!

I didn't even think of Phistomefel! But I found a lot of coloration helped in different ways. Thanks!

definitely a 2 star, with some great interaction.
(Not sure if it was intentional but i felt so proud when Phistomefel allowed me to put a 1/3 pair on the diagonal :-))
