Lockout Lines were introduced 12 August 2021. This puzzle is to commemorate that milestone.
Rules
• Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column and box without repetition.
• Lockout Lines: Digits on blue lines can not be between or equal to the digits in the diamonds at the ends of the line. The digits in the diamonds at the ends of a line must differ by at least 4. A diamond terminates a line segment.
Solution code: Column 5 Top to Bottom

A lovely, approachable Lockout Lines puzzle. I’ve only done a couple of other Lockout Lines puzzles before and this one was definitely the smoothest solve of those I’ve tried.

I've never done Locked Out Lines before, but the way you set this puzzle, it was pretty intuitive to see how the rules flowed. Once I figured out the trick to these lines, everything fell perfectly into place. Thank you for the brilliant puzzle.
