So Dorlir kindly asked for more puzzles using the Greatest Line constraint, and I found Fortress Fillomino was the way to deliver.

It was easy to find a solution (1-2 stars of difficulty), but I don't see any straightforward way to show that this solution is unique.

Is there an ambiguity in the rules? I'm not sure whether a line could be 1135, for example.
Allowed: The 5 is the only cell whose value is greater than all pairs of two other cells
Not allowed: The 3 and 5 are both "greater than the sum of any other two cells" because they are greater than 1 + 1
It's my first time seeing these lines, so I may be being thick...
***
the example 1135 is a valid line since it has one digit (5) that is greater than any possible sum of two of the other digits.
a non example is 1235, because 5 itself is not greater than 2+3.
