Misdirection
(Published on 11. February 2025, 20:38 by FJL)
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits on an arrow sum to the number in the circle. Digits in a dashed square sum to the number in the top left corner. Digits separated by a V sum to 5, digits separated by an X sum to 10. Digits separated by a white dot differ by 1, digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. All dots, X:s and V:s are not necessarily given.
*Spoiler Warning*
Hint: the intended break-in has to do with comparing two boxes with a row and a column
Solution code: Row 4

Sweet opening and an engaging solve path after that, though one particular point in the mid solve took me longer than expected to reason the next step.
If anything else to say, you can leave the texts of your hint in white color and also the intended paths in the hidden comment option instead.

Brilliant puzzle! Maybe you should make the spoiler hidden text though, because I read it by accident and I wish I hadn't for a more challenging solve. Some very nice steps and great fun. Thank you
