Ancient Artifacts

This puzzle was originally set in February 2023 for the Cracking the Cryptic Discord's monthly prompt of "Professor Hale-White's Ancient Dig Site."
Rules:- Normal sudoku rules apply. Fog of War rules apply: placing a correct digit in the grid will reveal the surrounding cells.
- Lines are Renbans, German Whispers, or Region Sum Lines. The identity of each line must be deduced. Lines never cross or branch in this puzzle. Therefore, if two line segments enter the same cell, those line segments must be connected.
- Renbans are a sequence of consecutive non-repeating digits in any order. German Whispers have a difference of at least 5 between each digit. Region Sum Lines have the same sum in every box they visit. If a Region Sum Line visits a box multiple times, each visit is counted as a separate sum.
- A dot between two digits means that those digits are either consecutive or have a 1:2 ratio.
Solve in CTC
Solution code: Row 6

I am really enjoying fog of war as it gives me a definitive starting point. I’ll admit I made the odd mistake and fog didn’t clear - so I restarted and I did it in the end!!!

Foggy ambiguity delight! This puzzle unfolds in a really satisfying way. Deducing the identity of the lines is very much fun.

This was so satisfying to complete. There was enough ambiguity that you really had to think about each and every deduction, but then once you cracked a particular segment the fog of war opened up all new ideas. One of the most enjoyable puzzles I've done.

The logic is all there, but I really had to dig deep to find it. Nice setting!
