Sudoku: Normal Sudoku rules apply.
German Whispers: Along green lines, values must differ from their neighbors by at least 5.
Killer: Values in cages sum to the digit in the top left corner.
5s in this puzzle instead count as the value of a Sudoku digit. 5s count as the value of each Sudoku digit exactly once.
Solution code: Row 4

Thanks for the feedback - I have updated the puzzle rules to hopefully be more precise in terms of values vs digits

there is a serious error in the way the rules are stated. you MUST explicitly distinguish between "digits" and "values".
eg. "in cages, DIGITS cannot repeat, and VALUES sum to the small clue, if given.
the puzzle itself is very nice, but requires strong familiarity with GW variant

Nice puzzle, thanks! Had to go back and forth on my deductions a couple of times as I understood the impact of the constraints better.
