X Gon' Give It To Ya

Rules
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in a Killer Cage do not repeat and sum to the number X.
- The sum of the digits in a diagonal pointed towards by the Little Killer arrows is the number X.
- Clues outside the grid without any arrows are X-sum clues. When there is an X-sum clue, the first N digits sum to the number X, where N is the first digit encountered from the direction of the clue.
- 3x3 boxes divide Region Sum lines into segments; each segment sums to the number X. For clarification, every total in the puzzle is the same number. Bifurcation is not required.

This was really fun. Such good setting here; really nice ways to use the interactions to slowly whittle down our candidate values for X. There are also some really cool geometry aspects here between the lines/cages/LKs that feel really well earned when they get resolved later in the solve. Very cool, very well done. Thank you!!
