Lines Between Lines

Description
I set out to do an approachable puzzle featuring between lines, I'm really happy with how this one turned out.
Rules
- Sudoku: Standard Sudoku rules apply.
- Thermo: Digits increase from the bulb of the thermometer. (The thermo is colored to distinguish it from the between line)
- German Whispers: Adjacent digits on a green line have a difference of 5 or more.
- Between Lines: Digits on a grey line must be strictly numerically between the digits in the attached circles.
- XV: Digits in any two cells joined by an X sum to ten. Not all Xs are given.
- Little Killer: Digits on the negative diagonal sum to 44
Solution code: Row 1

Definitely not a 1*. Loved the symmetries and how the constraints worked together.

Perfect setting. Made it approachable, but still challenging enough to be interesting. Nice work!

Interesting puzzle but I agree that it’s not a 1 star difficulty.

Very very nice. Thanks for sharing!
My solving time was also somewhere between 1 and 2 stars. But I would put it closer to 2 stars.

Lovely little puzzle, not difficult but you have to come at the solution from an interesting angle. I’d completely forgotten about the little killer solution until the end!

45 minutes in, with 4 digits on the board (all 5s), I’m starting to question the 1 star rating.
