Top Right Boi

Can you solve the Top Right Boi?
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box
- Box Ordinal Indicators: A digit in a grey circle is odd. In addition it indexes the position in that box of the digit corresponding to the box that the circle is in. For example, R1C6 is in box 2. If R1C6 were a 9, this would be saying that the 2 in box 2 needs to go in position 9, which is R3C6. (Boxes and positions are numbered 1 to 9 in normal reading order.) (See below for an image example)
- Diagonal: Digits may not repeat on the marked diagonal going from bottom-left to top-right
Box Ordinal Indicator example
The circle in box 1 is indicating in which position the 1 should be placed, in this case indexing itself
The circle in box 2 is indicating which position the 2 should be placed, here in position 7 which is R3C4
The circle in box 3 is indicating which position the 3 should be placed, here in position 5 which is R2C8
Solution code: Row 3

I enjoyed this indexing puzzle. Any reason why there were a shed load of Top Right Boi puzzles released at 12 noon?

Trust the rating - not nearly as daunting as the rules might read. Great puzzle.

Great puzzle. I like how it keeps the difficulty low despite the seemingly sparse clues. Also great title.
