Dante's Chaotic Journey

For a non-chaos version of the same constraint, try this. Cheers!
Rules
- Standard chaos construction sudoku rules: Each row, column and region contains the digits 1-9. Regions are comprised of 9 orthogonally connected cells and must be determined.
- There is a path of orthogonally connected cells that visits each of the 9 regions exactly once, starting at the circle and ending at the square. The path cannot touch itself, not even diagonally.
- Within each region, the path cells form a valid thermo, increasing in the direction of the path.
- Diamonds are all on the path and their value equals the number of cells on the path in its region.
- In each cage, the path cells belong to a single region and have the same sum as the cage's non-path cells, which are in a single other region.
