Anti knights are always engaging. This puzzle put it in good use.

1 star? I don’t think so. Closer to 2. Great job, though!

I’ll add to the chorus of applause.
I didn’t realize until this puzzle one of the reasons I like negative constraints so much:
I don’t find vanilla Sudoku very engaging, and negative constraints effectively sustain variant logic until the bitter end, whereas most variants eventually degrade to plain Sudoku.
