Shifter Lines 117: Shifty Candy
Shifter Lines 119: Deconstruction
All my series:
Equality Cages
EquaLite Cages
Shifter Lines
Shifter Dots
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
Shifter lines: Adjacent digits within the same box on a shifter line share both parity (even/odd) AND polarity (low/high). Whenever the line enters a new box either the parity OR the polarity shifts, never both. Shifter lines can never have 5 on it. Digits may repeat on lines.
Hot arrows: An orange arrow points toward a cell N distance away that has a value greater than N, where N is the digit in the arrow's cell. For example, if R8C9 would be a 4, then R8C5 would be 5 or higher.

The solution code being in the completion message is a bit silly, given the fact that mallicious actors can get it from the JSON data regardless.

Very cool! A couple spots were a bit tricky but never unfair, I had a lot of fun with it!
