the cost of giving up

I had this idea for a Doppelgänger puzzle, and then ThePedallingPianist told me (spoiler alert) there's already a very similar puzzle... 👀
- Doppelgänger Sudoku:
- Fill each cell of the main 9x9 grid such that every row, column and 3x3 box contains a 0 and eight different digits from 1-9.
- No two rows, no two columns and no two boxes may be missing the same digit.
- For each 0 in the grid, the digits missing in its row, column and region must be three different digits.
- Digits may not repeat inside a cage and must sum to the indicated total.
Online in Sudokupad (and with extra note space).

- split pearsonality / dopealgänger
Solution code: Digits on the column missing a 7, top to bottom.

Sucks when someone else has your great idea first, but it is still a great idea nonetheless!
