- 'Zipper lines' must be added to the grid so that all purple circles indicate the exact midpoint of such lines; digits on a line equidistant from the circle sum to the digit contained within it.
- Any individual line must move orthogonally between cells, must not touch/cross another line nor itself, and must not be fully contained within a single column, row, or 3x3 box
- Cells separated by a 'button' (grey kropki dot) must either contain consecutive digits and/or digits in an exact ratio of 1:2
Solution code: Row 2 and Row 8 (18 digits)

This was super neat - not only the zipper-building, but how their nature as zippers impacted that, etc. I adored the way the buttons came into their own, too. And there were definitely some 4* deductions in there :) fantastic puzzle, thanks!
