Never Odd Or Even

First shot at making a variant sudoku - a very small and simple one :)
RULES:
Normal 4x4 Sudoku rules apply.
Cage: Digits in a cage sum to the total labelled in the top left of the cage. Eg: 3 [1 2]
Arrow: Digits along the arrow line (purple) sum to the digit circled on its tail end. The sum includes the arrowhead but NOT the circle. Eg: 2-4-(6)
Palindromes: Digits along a palindrome line (orange) must be the same sequence when read in order starting at either end of the line. Eg: 1-2-2-1
SLOW thermometer: Digits along a slow thermometer must either be equal to, or higher, than its predecessor as they move AWAY from the bulb end. Eg: (2)-2-3-4
Solution code: Column 3 (Top to Bottom)

Very enjoyable coloring puzzle. Thank you!

Changed the solution code to be greatly simplified.
I had the admittedly gimmicky idea to have the solution code be a palindrome (hence the title as well) but feedback has confirmed it’s just more tacky/overdone than anything with the unneeded complexity to do so.
Much appreciated and definitely simpler solution codes in the future! :)

Agreed. I couldn't even be bothered.

unnötig komplizierter Lösungscode

I honestly think your puzzle is getting downrated because of the unecessary complexity of the solution code.

I think inputting the solution code was the more challenging puzzle!
