Spreading Through the Fog

Rules:

Chaos Construction: Divide the grid into 9 non overlapping regions, each consisting of orthogonally connected cells.

Sudoku: Place the digits 1–9 exactly once in each row, column, and region.

Circles: A digit in a circle equals the number of distinct columns occupied by its region. There are 9 circles in total, and exactly one pair of circles share the same digit.

Squares: A digit in a square equals the number of distinct rows occupied by its region. There are 9 squares in total, and exactly one pair of squares share the same digit.

Diamonds: A digit in a diamond equals the number of distinct regions that appear anywhere in its row or column, including its own region (regions seen in both the row and column are still counted once).

Equal sums: The sum of every circled and squared digit within a region is the same for each of the nine regions.

Fog: The grid is covered in fog, placing correct digits clears the fog somewhere in the grid.

Enjoyed the puzzle, but your diamonds are actually not diamond shaped, they are in fact squares.

I assumed the middle symbol was supposed to be a diamond and that it was not supposed to count as a square (even though it is) and avoided any trouble, but I could easily have interpreted it differently. Not trying to nitpick just to be difficult.

In a diamond shape the top and bottom angles are less than 90 degrees, while the two middle angles are more than 90 degrees. Or: a diamond is higher than its width.
