Fill each row, column, and box with the digits 0-9 once each, with exactly one cell in each row, column, and box containing two digits.
A cell's value is equal to the sum of its digits.
Arrows: the sum of the values along an arrow is equal to the value in the connected circle.
Renban lines: the purple line contains a non-repeating set of consecutive values in any order.
Values in cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.

Solution code: row one (for the cell with two digits, give both, with the lower digit first)

Very clever. Loved the mix of s-cell and renban.

Oof! Became my own worst enemy forgetting that the values on the renban had to be both distinct *and* consecutive, but once I shook that out of my head it flowed beautifully! Really cool puzzle that twisted my brain in knots.

Lovely handcrafted modifier sudoku. I had always to keep in mind that modifier cells are 2 numbers (my mind kept going towards the doublers instead)

Excellent - careful thought required, but solves beautifully

A sweet and fun puzzle overall! Pretty clean solve path too, one just needs to scan the grid carefully :)
