Digits in cages must sum to the clue, if given. Digits on an arrow must sum to the digit in the attached circle.
The set of sums for each clue (arrow circles and cages) must form a non-repeating consecutive sequence; to be deduced by the solver.

A very cool puzzle, which is not too hard if you utilize the “Sudoku Secret” and the “159 Secret” judiciously :)
A cute break-in!

This excellent grid would immediately draw the attention of indexing and set theory specialists. Yet fellow mortals can still try it. A very rewarding solve.
Now, about the AI artist, I asked it to draw "chess" and got a nightmare of a Chess position, on a fantasy board, and a city on a checker board painting within a painting.
A daily double of a great puzzle and a beautiful artwork.
