My attempt to make a puzzle using a visual style similar to some of the puzzles set by the adroit and sagacious zetamath!
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits separated by a V sum to 5. Digits separated by an X sum to 10.
- Digits along thermometers must increase from the bulb end to the tip.
- Digits in cages sum to the small number printed in the corner.
- Every string of three adjacent digits along a peach Entropic line must contain one low digit (123) one medium digit (456) and one high digit (789).
- Along purple Renban lines the digits form a non-repeating consecutive set in any order.
Solution code: Row 9

returning to comment late, but there was something about this puzzle where it felt like i was in absolute lock-step with you! (as in, closer to a 3* than 5*. or that i and zeta-you think very similarly.) great minds? regardless, so so much fun :)

That's 100% sneaky! I'm not sure whether I found the intended solve part or somehow blundered through, but it's very impressive how much hangs on these few clues

Cool placement of the entropic lines!

Excellent! A lot of interesting interaction between each clue.

Great puzzle. It just keeps giving. Every time I thought I'd cracked it I got stuck again.
