Rules:
Regular sudoku rules apply; place the digits 1-9 in every row, column, and outlined 3x3 box exactly once each.
Regular renban rules apply; digits on each pink renban line form a set of nonrepeating, consecutive digits in any order.
Regular kropki rules apply; white kropki dots separate digits with a difference of 1, and black kropki dots separate digits with a 1:2 ratio. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Digits in cells with squares are even.

Fun puzzle, but I'd wish the ambiguity to resolve earlier

Surely this is as inventive a renban puzzle as can be. I don't want to spoil the nature of this puzzle, but this did not solve how i initially thought. Very, very clever.
