1. Normal sudoku rules apply.
2. Kropki: Digits separated by a Black Dot are in a 1 to 2 ratio. Digits separated by a White dot are consecutive.
3. XV: Digits separated by an X sum to ten, and digits separated by a V sum to five.
4. In cages, digits sum to the given total and may not repeat.
5. Blue lines are Equal Sum Lines. On blue lines, digits in each box must have the same sum. DIGITS MAY NOT REPEAT ALONG BLUE LINES.
6. Green Lines are Magic Sum Lines. On green lines, digits along straight-line segments must have the same sum. A line segment is from end point to corner, or corner to corner. DIGITS MAY NOT REPEAT ALONG GREEN LINES.
Magic Sum Example: 3+5+7=7+8=8+1+6...
Solution code: Enter the negative main diagonal from r1c1 to r9c9. 9 digits no space.

Very challenging - I kept picking at the lines until the puzzle broke open, would be curious if there was a smoother solve path?

It was fiendishly hard... Until I read the rules a little more carefully and realized that the digits may NOT repeat on blue nor green lines.
Thanks for a great puzzle.
