Normal Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1–9 exactly once in every row, column, and 3×3 box.
Thermometers: Digits along each thermometer strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
Black Kropki Dots: Digits separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio. Not all possible dots are necessarily given.
Lookout Skyscrapers:
Each digit represents a skyscraper of that height. Outside clues indicate the number of skyscrapers visible along the corresponding row or column, looking in that direction from the top of the first skyscraper. The first skyscraper itself is not counted.
A skyscraper is blocked from view exactly when another skyscraper between it and the first skyscraper is taller than both.
Example: Standing on 4 and looking along 3, 1, 6, 2, 5, you can see 3, 1 and 6. The 3 cannot block your view of the 1, but the 6 blocks the 2 and 5.

My first time doing Lookout Skyscraper style variant. I liked it, definitely bamboozled me for a while column 5. Felt great getting it!
I was a little upset at the end where I am certain bifurcation was the only method.

varepsilon: Thanks for solving and for the kind comment! I'm really glad you enjoyed my Lookout Skyscrapers idea.
As for the ending, I guess you mean the top-right corner? There is a logical path through it without bifurcation.
