This one has now had a refurbishment to preserve break-in logic. Thank you to all of those who tested, and happy solving!
Puzzle: Cagey Doppelgängers
Rules:
Normal 9x9 Sudoku rules apply.
Digits cannot repeat along the marked negative diagonal.
Quadruples: Digits in circles must appear in at least one of the surrounding 4 cells.
Cages: Cages are either killer cages, where the digits do not repeat and sum to the clue, or Look-and-say cages where the clue indicates how many times the digit appears in the cage. I.e a 14 means there is one 4 in the cage. Digits can repeat in look-and-say cages.
Solution code: Row 9, left to right, 9 digits no spaces:
