Rules: Normal Sudoku rules apply. Put the digits 1 to 9 once each into each row, column and 3x3 box.
Dynamic Fog: The grid is covered in fog. Placing a correct digit clears the fog in that cell and possibly elsewhere in the grid. No guessing is required.
Cages: Digits in a cage don't repeat and sum to the total in the top-left corner of the cage.
Kropki Circles: Two cells separated horizontally or vertically by an adjacent white circle must contain consecutive digits. Two cells separated horizontally or vertically by an adjacent black circle must contain digits where one is double the other (See example image).

Very fun puzzle!
Great use of the Kropki! Never thought about this kind of logic and interactions when I came up with the constraint. Really glad to see it being used and that other people learn about it :D

Great puzzle: fun solve. I like this version of the Kropki rule a lot. Fascinating to see some of the fog deductions that come out of it.

A fun way of thinking about Kropki, almost like a remote property... extended kropki! I like this variant a lot. Kudos and thanks for the fun puzzle!
