Normal 9x9 sudoku rules apply.
A pink renban line forms a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
A cage's value is the sum of digits within the cage. Digits may not repeat in a cage. All orthogonally connected cages are in the same renban-group, and a renban-group forms a set of non-repeating consecutive values in any order. (e.g., the 3 one cell cages in box 9 are in the same renban group)

Decided to finally set a 9x9 puzzle, and I'm relatively pleased with how it turned out. I hope you find some of the logic as fun and interesting as I did. The cage version of other line rules might be fun to explore as well. Good luck, and have a great day! :)
Solution code: Row 9

rule clarification: digits may not repeat in cages (thanks, Dcs for noticing! Yes, that was the intended assumption)

Clarified rules. Thanks, StefanSch for pointing that out. (c) is the correct interpretation

The rules are unclear.
Does it mean:
a) each pair of neigboring cages includes together a renban group of numbers
b) in each pair of neiboring cages the sum of one cage differs by one from the sum of the other cage
c) all cage sums of orthogonal connected cages form a renban group -- so the cages in the large group have 14 different sums, for instance from 9 to 22 or from 13 to 26.
