something for everyone

ThePedallingPianist kindly asked for puzzles using the most recent development in line clues: Juzter Lines. For this clues "adjacent digits along the line aren't restricted in any way. Furthermore, there is not any rule with repeats on lines, the sum of digits on the line, or anything else really!".
In the context of this puzzle these lines may not satisfy any constraint that other lines follow, i.e. a negative constraint.
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Cells on a pink line contain a set of consecutive digits in any order and have no repeated digits.
- Cells on a yellow line contain a set of pairwise non-consecutive digits and have no repeated digits.
- Every pair of adjacent cells along a green line have digits with a minimum difference of 5.
- Box borders split blue lines into components with the same sum.
- Brown lines are not restricted in these ways: These lines may not satisfy any of the previous constraints.

Fun and interesting puzzle, but I misinterpreted the rules and had to unwind a ways near the end.
I kept reading the juzter constraint in the context of not acting as a valid german whisper line to mean "no two adjacent digits may differ by five or more", when actually the constraint is much less strict.
This may be ameliorated by rewording the whisper constraint like "Each pair of adjacent cells along a green line..." or something similar. Maybe it's a me problem.
Anyway, I really enjoyed the solve. Thanks for sharing, aqjhs!

sounds good, thanks!
