Intro to Renban Walls Series
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
A Renban Wall is an unbroken purple line along cell borders.
A renban set is a set of consecutive digits in any order, without repeats.
Digits on one side of a wall form a renban set. Digits on the other side of that wall form a renban set. Together, all digits touching that wall form a renban set.
Comments are always welcome. I'd love to hear your thoughts about the puzzle. Have fun!
Streamers have permission to use this puzzle.
Hints: The renban walls in this puzzle each touch nine cells. Digits can't repeat along a wall, so the area around each wall is effectively an extra region. These extra regions are located in the classic Windoku positions.
Solution code: Row 4

Very nice GAS level introduction to this ruleset. I did notice the effective Windoku, but the puzzle was easy enough without needing to use any Windoku tricks.
