Equal petals

Normal sudoku rules (and normal additional clues rules) apply: digits 1-9, no repeats in rows, columns, or boxes.
Region sum line (blue): the line is split by region borders into segments with equal sums.
Entropic line (peach): every set of three consecutive cells on the line contains one low digit (123), one middle digit (456), and one high digit (789).
Killer cage: digits in cages must not repeat and must sum to the number in the top left of the cage.

Hello, sudoku lovers. I've been doing sudoku for years now. But I usually do them randomly. I try to solve them, and if I don't like something, I change it and try again. But I never thought through the ideas deeply enough so that every detail stood in its place, so that they complemented each other, so that the solution went smoothly and pleasantly. This is my first attempt at doing this. I know I couldn't do it perfectly, but I tried. And I would be glad to hear your feedback in the comments.
