Busted!
Deconstructed Sudoku:
Place the digits 1 through 6 in every white cell such that digits do not repeat in any row, column, or rectangular box.
Gray cells should not be filled with any digits.
Zipper Lines:
On a red zipper line, any pair of digits that are the same distance from the central cell of the line must sum to the central cell digit. For clarity, a diamond has been added to the central cell of each zipper line.
For the purpose of this puzzle, treat all gray cells as if they contain the digit 0.
This is my first puzzle uploaded to LMG. Happy solving!
Solution code: List the digits of the top right zipper line in order, without spaces. Start from the top end of the zipper line and finish at the bottom end of the zipper line.

This was a lot of fun! Got stuck once because I made an assumption about one of the zippers, wound up with a really nice solve once I restarted without that assumption.
Coloring definitely helped.

Congrats on publishing your first puzzle! It looks fun and I would like to try it, do you happen to have a link to an online solver so more people can explore your creation?

Super fun! Great use of the zipper ends sticking out of the deconstruction.
