Third-Degree Murder

Raumplaner and I are pleased to announce the release of the Layers of Entropy puzzle pack! The pack features puzzles with entropic lines, the original Entropy constraint, as well as some other variants, with 27 puzzles ranging in difficulty from Liquid to Quark-Gluon Plasma. The pack is available for download on BremSter's Patreon (thanks to BremSter for hosting!).
This particular puzzle, a collaboration between me and Raumplaner is the kick-off for the pack, a bonus not in the pack itself. It was solved on BremSter's Channel as a kick-off for the pack. We hope you enjoy!
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Entropic lines: Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low (1,2,3), middle (4,5,6), and high (7,8,9) digit. An entropic line of length 2 may not contain two digits from the same low, middle or high rank. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by other rules.
Killer cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the number shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
If you want even more Entropy, we encourage you to try our internally-linked series of entropic lines puzzles here on LMD, starting with our (very easy) Entropic Lines 101.
Continuing the entropic lines series with Raumplaner, this is puzzle #13.
previous puzzle (#12)
next puzzle (#14)
Solution code: Row 8 followed by column 5 (18 digits, left to right, top to bottom, no spaces/commas).

So much fun.
SPOILER ALERT: I loved how the pencilmarks got modular rather than entropic.

Cool puzzle! Solves very differently from all the other entropic lines puzzles I've done, but still cool :)
