Chaos at the pic-nic
(Published on 10. September 2022, 12:26 by Azireo)
Following the chaos sudoku trend, here is one using some sandwich logic. I hope you like it.
It should not be too easy, but without any high peak in difficulty. I tried to make it consistent throughout.

Rules:
- Normal chaos sudoku rules apply. Each row/column/region contains digits 1 to 9.
- Chaotic Sandwich: Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits sandwiched between the 1 and the 9 in the corresponding row/col. For each clue, the 1, the 9 and the block of cells in between are part of exactly three distinct regions (2 when there is no filling). All the filling is part of the same region.
- Kropki: Black dots indicate cells are in a ratio 1:2. White dot indicate cells have a difference of 1. Not all dots are given. Both cells must be part of the same region.
- The inequality sign points to the lower digit of the two cells.
Solution code: Row 2 and column 7, 18 digits

Tweaked the rules a bit for clarification.

A clarification is required. The last rule say that inequality sign points to the lowest digit and not lower digit. So, that should mean 1. Right? Because without the lower digit being 1, there is a solution. But that is not accepted as the correct solution.
Azireo: Hi, I just meant the lowest digit of the two cells, just like a normal inequality sign. It doesn't have to be one. You might have an issue somewhere if your solution is not accepted.You can contact me on the CtC discord if you want me to check. I'll edit the rules a bit.
