Lovely puzzle! I agree the solvepath is very clear. Everything is nicely laid out, and there are enjoyable "aha" moments along the way.
Also, that's a fun bit of math trivia about 17 ways to add to 17 :)

I saw the film this week, so it was a must-solve! THX.

thank you very much! i suspect your solve path largely mirrored the setting path; was hoping to make it clear where to start and where to go next, and seems like it worked :-)
