Ghost Digit
(Published on 15. October 2021, 19:25 by jwsinclair)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Cages show their sums, and digits cannot repeat within a cage.
On thermometers, digits increase from the bulb.
But! One of the digits from 1-9 is a ghost, and is not bound by those constraints. The ghost digit still follows normal sudoku rules (appearing once in each row/column/box), but does not count toward cage sums, can repeat within a cage, and can appear anywhere on a thermometer (other digits on the thermometer must still increase from bulb to tip; the ghost digit is simply ignored).

Interesting rules, thanks, which took me a while to grasp (as usual). And one of those which at first glance doesn't seem to have enough information to solve.
