Digits in a cage sum to the number in its top-left corner.
A clue outside the grid gives the sum of digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat on such diagonals.
Try it on the CTC app or on f-puzzles.

Fantastic puzzle, nice break, challenging but doable (though it took me 178 minutes...)

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Apologies to anyone who attempted the puzzle when I marked it as a 4/5 for difficulty. I now see that I took some of the 'not-so-obvious' steps for granted while running through various iterations of this concept before selecting this one.

Incredible puzzle! It's amazing that it solves from so little information. I love the break-in and the knights move logic all the way through. Really nice setting, well done.
