Circuit Breaker

I put the region sum screws on a different type of line constraint in this puzzle.
Rules:
- Standard sudoku rules apply: The digits 1 through 6 appear in every row, column, and box.
- Region Sum Screws: Box borders divide the beige lines into segments. Segments with a black screw between them have sums in a 2:1 ratio. Segments with a white screw between them have consecutive sums.
- Entropic lines: Any set of three sequential cells along a beige entropic line must contain a low digit (1, 2), a middle digit (3, 4), and a high digit (5, 6). For lines with a length of 2 cells, the digits on the line are from different sets.

Pretty fun :)
A puzzle I played earlier that was tricky with rules had me second-guessing myself on "wait, the rules say set of THREE along a beige line, so if there's only TWO..."
However, the two-length in box 1 would have no reason to exist if two of the same entropy could be adjacent on 2-long lines.
