Rules:
- Normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 6 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
- Anti-Knight: Cells separated by a knights move in chess cannot contain the same digit.
- Killer Cage: In each cage, digits cannot repeat and their sum is given by the small number in the top left corner of the leftmost cell in the top row of the cage.
- Kropki Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are necessarily given.
- Fog of War: The grid is partially covered in fog. Correctly placing digits will clear the fog around that cell. No guessing is required.
Enjoy!
Solution code: Row 4 (6 digits)

I guessed how the break in would have to happen, and after coloring was happy to see it all come together. Beautiful puzzle.

I rarely like the 6x6 sudokus as they are inherently simpler, but this one was really interesting.
I think the rules are pretty clear, especially considering the level of detail you put there defining where the sum will appear.
Thank you for a nice one!

Would be good to clarify that all killer cages have a total. Nice little puzzle though

Thanks for your comment. I put a bit of time and thought into the wording of the rules and I'm still not 100% satisfied with them. If someone wants to propose a better way to phrase the killer cage rule, feel free to do so. But I do think that
"In each cage, ... [the digits'] sum is given by the small number in the top left corner ..." makes it clear that all cages have a total.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I cannot seem to identify how to disambiguate the 1's and 3's. I guess I'm overlooking something. Nice puzzle though, enjoyed it.
