Not me forgetting the "global" part of the rules where all possible where there, ugh that added like 30 minutes, until I was like, there is no way to disambiguate this, did I miss something?

I usually struggle a bit with this type of puzzle, but surprisingly everything went remarkably smoothly.

Thanks, I read the rule about position in box wrong. I thought it was the boxnumber and not the position in the box.

Gold cell in the middle of box 9 can be 5 (position in the box) or 8 (row 8, column 8)

r8c9, being gold, is either 9 (column), 8 (row), or 6 (position in box 9).

I don´t understand the rule. Does it mean e.g. a cell in r2c3 can only be a 1, 2 or 3? Then the gold cells in box 9 can all only be 8 or 9 but it is 3 cells. What am I getting wrong?
