Rules
Squishdoku:
- Place the digits 1 through 9 once each in every 3x3 region, without repeats in any row or column. Cells on region borders (dashed lines) are shared between multiple boxes.
Index Lines:
- The value in the Nth cell along a line (starting from the diamond) indicates the position along the line where the value N appears. For example, if a diamond cell has a value 3, the third cell along that line must have a value 1.
All feedback (positive or critical) appreciated!
Solution code: Row 7, left to right (7 digits)

the interaction between index lines and squishdoku lowers difficulty a lot. Thanks for setting.
