Rules:
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- In this puzzle: all Active Cells must also be Friendly Cells
(see definitions below) - Squares: There are exactly 3 Friendly Cells which are Not Active.
The squares mark the locations of these cells. - Circles: count the number of Friendly Cells (both Active and Inactive), including themselves, in the surrounding 3x3 neighborhood.
All possible circles are given. - Diamonds: contain the sum of circled digits in either their row or their column (not both).
Diamonds are shown for every row and column with more than one circle.
Definitions:
- Active Cells
A cell is said to be "Active" or "Activated" if it can be the target cell of a valid numbered rooms clue. That is, if it is N cells from the edge of the grid, where N is the digit in the cell at that edge (at one end its row or column). It is possible for a cell to be activated multiple times (up to once for each of the four edges of the grid). - Friendly Cells
A cell is said to be "Friendly" if it contains a digit that matches its Row, Column, or Box number. Note that it is possible for some cells to have more than one "type" of Friendliness. For example, a 5 in R5C5 would have all three types: (Row, Column, and Box).

Thanks, this took me a loooong time but ultimately got it without guessing.

After that great solve path throughout the entire puzzle, the fact that the final disambiguation still required the ruleset was incredible. Excellent setting!
