Enter Maturity

I was surprised and delighted this morning to see a shoutout of my puzzle "Arrow's Flight" from the wonderful James Sinclair on his weekly blog, Artisanal Sudoku. I have been a regular fan of his blog for nearly two years now; I am glad to see he has enjoyed!
This is a puzzle set for Scojo's weekly setting prompt, using entropic lines and some dots. Sum dots. Some sum dots. She sells some dots by the sum lots. Or sumthing like that.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Sum Dots: Digits in cells touching a gold Sum Dot must sum to the indicated total. Digits may repeat if allowed by other rules.
Entropic Lines: Any set of three digits along the peach line must contain one small digit (1, 2, 3), one medium digit (4, 5, 6), and one large digit (7, 8, 9).

Solution code: Column 1

Very fun and not too difficult.
I was thrown off by another puzzle from this prompt where the sum dots also acted as quadruple clues, so I just assumed that would be the case here as well. Once I managed to rule that out, it went pretty smoothly.

Love the minimalism, one line and 4 sum dots!
