Great puzzle, very enjoyable!
The left cage in box 4 is wrong in the solution. Sum is 8 there.

I got this in fits and starts, very enjoyable. Appreciate the forewarning about column 2.

Liked this one.
interesting, since CTC solution check does not work properly, it still shows 47 solves.

Yup, CtC check did not work but otherwise very fun puzzle.

Irrespective of the issues with CtC answer check, this was a rather fun puzzle. thanks for sharing

The CTC-Link thinks the cage in the second column would add to 8 instead of 9. In F-Puzzles the sum is 9. It doesn't matter though which version you solve since the solution code is the same for both.
I'll write a hidden comment about what exactly is different in the final solutions of those two versions.

Gorgeous puzzle! The interaction between the castle lines led to some beautiful logic. Fabulous design, and a super fun solve. Thanks for setting and sharing!

CTC app is odd. Solved it twice and both times it said I got something wrong. Did not think I did, so tried the solution code and it worked.

There is an error with the 9 cage in c2. It sums to 8, not 9

I too am getting the message from SudokuPad that my solution is not correct. But definitely a fun puzzle. Thank you.

I also found the CTC app notes the solution is wrong, but the solution code is correct. Great puzzle by the way. Thanks for posting it.
