Loved it! The deductions at the start were very clever. It seemed like it would crack after the break in but was elegantly difficult throughout. Well done.

Thank you for your comment, meggen033! As I am a big fan of your puzzles, it is really nice to see you solving one of mine. :)
I think your observation is quite accurate: After the break-in, the puzzle becomes easier but does not collapse immediately.
Kind regards, sujoyku
