Let them eat cake

Thanks to DadJokes, Raumplaner and Riffclown for the test solve and helpful feedback! I hope you enjoy!
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Anti-king rules apply: no two cells a chess king's move apart can have the same digit.
Battenburg rules apply: In quads marked with a square, no two cells of the same parity can share an edge. There IS a negative constraint: in a quad without a rectangle, there must be some pair of cells sharing an edge that have digits of the same parity.
Solution code: Row 8 followed by column 7 (18 digits, left to right, top to bottom, no spaces/commas).

Very nice! I quite like the Battenburg constraint, I don't think I've solved with it before. Thanks!
