Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Digits in a circle must appear at least once in the four cells surrounding the circle.
Around each circle, at most one cell can contain an odd digit.
All cells containing odd digits form a single contiguous, orthogonally connected region.
Thanks to Cristopher Moore for testing!
Solution code: Row 1

Satisfying solve, especially using the single region constraint.

Wow, what a gorgeous puzzle. Such a seemingly simple layout, but navigating the solve path is a beautiful challenge. The deductions are tricky without ever being too hard, it flows really well. Love to see Simon tackle this one!
