Too Many Pigeons

This was set for Scojo's Setting Saturday prompts. lmdemasi redeemed this prompt to create an approachable Doppelgänger puzzle.
Thanks to gdc for testing!
Rules:
- Doppelgänger:
- Fill each cell of the main grid such that every row, column and 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 box must be three different digits.
- Fill each outer cell with the digit missing from the corresponding row, column, or box.
Lösungscode: The 9 digits from the column missing a 6 from top to bottom.

Huh, an otherwise vanilla doppelganger puzzle. Neat! Probably still a bit tough for an introduction, but once you know a couple of tricks (like how the extra row/column cells interact with the extra box cells), it's a pretty smooth solve.
I think doppelganger is my favorite variant.

Stretching the definition of approachable. :-)
Thanks

Doppelgänger adds a mind-bending level to the solve but it was very rewarding. Thanks!
