Soup To Nuts

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Inert Lines (IRT): A yellow Inert Line has no inherent constraint, although it must comply with the Line End Sums rule.
- Thermometers (THM): Along thermometers digits must increase from the bulb end to the tip.
- German Whispers (GW): Adjacent digits along green lines must have a difference of at least 5.
- Odd/Even Lines (OE): Digits along red lines must alternate between odd and even parity.
- Entropic Lines (ENT): Every string of three adjacent digits along peach lines must contain one low digit (123) one medium digit (456) and one high digit (789).
- Renbans (REN): Digits along purple lines must form a non-repeating consecutive set, in any order.
- Modular Lines (MOD): Every set of three consecutive cells along teal lines must contain a digit from each modulo 3 group. These groups are (1,4,7), (2,5,8) and (3,6,9).
- Line End Sums: On each line, two digits at one end of the line sum to the digit (or "total") at the other end of the line. Which end of the line contains the total is to be determined by the solver. For example, if R1C6 was the cell which contained the total on the Odd/Even Line, the digits in R3C6 and R4C6 would sum to the digit in R1C6.

This became much easier when I realised that I hadn't yet used one of the clues. Don't be me, make sure you use all of the clues!

Great puzzle! I really liked how each different line type required unique logic for determining how the line end sums had to work.

really fun puzzle - especially loved the logic around the modular line!

From tip to tail, from here to there, from soup to nuts, this one is awesome all the way through!
