Equality Cages 120: Parity?! It's called polarity!

(Published on 10. January 2024, 18:00 by gUBBLOR)

It's been a while since I did easy Equality Cages, so here's another one star puzzle. The previous and next puzzle in the series:
Equality Cages 119: Friendly, hostile, and neutral cages
Equality Cages 121: Ranked cells

All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots



Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.

Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) digits AND an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) digits. Equality cages can never contain 5. Digits may not repeat in a cage.

Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. Not all dots are shown.

X: Adjacent cells connected with an X must sum to 10. Not all X's are shown.

Polarity lines (green): Adjacent digits along each polarity line must alternate between low (6,7,8,9) and high (1,2,3,4). 5 can never be on a polarity line. Digits may repeat on the line.

Parity lines (red): Adjacent digits along each parity line must alternate between odd (1,3,5,7,9) and even (2,4,6,8). Digits may repeat on the line.
