For me, a 2* hero, the puzzle definitely was difficult. Break-in felt like proper 2* with several deduction steps, but disambiguation at the very end was what broke me. I tried pencilmarking, coloring and whatnot before finally giving in to bifurcation just to find the contradiction 5 steps down the line.
It's a good puzzle nonetheless, but that part alone is enough to warrant a 3* from me.

I've changed the link to a version with the anti-knight move in the rules

Could you please add the knight-move constraint to the CTC rules?

Nice puzzle. Not too hard, but you still have to work during the second half of the puzzle.
