Sevenfold Chaos

The second approachable chaos construction puzzle in a small series. I tried to spice it up with using the rarely used 7x7 grid and a constraint I never saw before. I think it is around 1.5 star difficulty. Enjoy and leave a comment if you liked it.

7x7 Chaos Construction: In every row and column, each digit from 1 to 7 occurs exactly once. In addition, there are 7 orthogonally connected regions in which each digit from 1 to 7 occurs exactly once. The shape of these regions have to be determined by the solver.
The squares show, how many of the four attached cell borders are actually region borders.
The numbers in circles give the number of horzontally and vertically seen cells of the same region including itself. Region borders block the view.
Negative constraint: All circles are given.
Solution code: Column 4 digits top to bottom, but only from the region that captured the center cell c4r4.

I made this puzzle much harder for myself by forgetting the negative constraint.
