the turn of a friendly card

A puzzle in the spirit of The Skunkworks League [TSL] [S2T1] prompt. Hope you like it.
- Latin square: place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row and column.
- Spaces outside the grid are skyscraper clues: The digit in these spaces indicates the number of grid digits seen in the direction of the clue, for that effect, digits block any lower or equal digit from being seen.
- Overlaps: Every little square is the center of an additional 3x3 box including outer spaces. Digits do no repeat in these boxes.
- Pink lines are both renban and double arrows:
- Digits on a line and its attached circles form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
- Digits on a line sum to the same total as the digits in the attached circles.

Beautiful puzzle! I don't understand why some of your puzzles have such a low rating. I think you're a genius

Really liked this puzzle’s logical path but at the end of my solve, r4c4 and r8c1 have the same digit which breaks the overlap rule
***
the rule is about digits not repeating inside each 3x3 area, not about repeats between the centers of them.

I see. That’s my bad and thank you for a good puzzle!

This is the first one of this style I have managed to complete so far ...really hard, but also really satisfying!
