Second of my index line puzzles. Hope the new twist is interesting! From testing (thanks CtC discord!) it seems like a hard 2* is appropriate.

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Index Lines: On an index line, the digit in the Nth cell along the line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the digit N appears. If multiple lines exist with the same diamond, each line is treated as separate. Eg: 3214 would be a valid line; the 1st digit, 3, indicates that the 3rd digit is a 1, and so on.
- In this puzzle, diamonds are not provided. Which end has the diamond is to be determined by the solver.
- White Kropki Dots: Cells connected by a white dot are consecutive. Not all such dots are given.

This a brilliant extension of the index line ruleset. Finding the sneaky breakin was suprisingly tricky for me, but after that it all flowed like a dream, with some very pleasing deductions based on the ambiguity of where the diamonds are. Lovely stuff.
