Hey all, this is my first puzzle here.
Entropic Expansion
Rules
Normal sudoku rules apply for the inner 9x9 grid. Any three continuous digits on an entropic line must contain one low digit (1, 2, 3), one middle digit (4, 5, 6), and one high digit (7, 8, 9).
Numbered rooms are clues outside the grid which indicate the digit that has to be placed in the Nth cell in the corresponding direction, where N is the digit placed in the first cell in that direction. The outer rows and columns contain the full numbered rooms clues for each row and column, from both directions. Digits may repeat freely within these rows and columns.
This puzzle is a part of the Layers of Entropy pack, featuring other similar puzzles based around low/medium/high constraints.

In CTC app, put zeroes in the black corners and it will recognize your solution as complete.

Fun puzzle. Thanks for setting and sharing, @ magnageas :). (By the way, the CTC app shows the solution as incorrect, even though it is correct as confirmed after posting the same on this site).

This was a gorgeous puzzle! I love entropic line puzzles, and the interplay with the outside clues was fantastic. There were a few tricky parts, but overall it flowed very well.
