For those getting a little too familiar with the valid options on gold lines in my recent puzzles, this puzzle should have you back to doing some more arithmetics!

Here are the rules:
  1. Normal Sudoku rules apply.
  2. On teal lines, the digits between the two endpoints sum to the product of the endpoint digits.
  3. Purple lines are renban lines, i.e. digits hereon are non-repeating, consecutive digits in any order.
  4. Gold lines obey the restrictions of both teal and purple lines.

Clarifications:
If a cell holds both endpoints of a gold or teal line, the remaining digits on the line will sum to the square of the digit in the endpoint cell.
Lines have to clearly visit the interior of a cell to take it. That is, line sections sitting on the border between cells does not claim either cell, e.g. the gold line in the bottom right claims exactly 5 cells all found in box 9.

The puzzle is also available online in the CtC App. As always, I will greatly appreciate any feedback!

Solution code: Box 4 in reading order.
