Caged by a Secret Killer

Check out my 3 other puzzles if you haven't yet! Listed in order of estimated difficulty (easiest to hardest): Solution videos to my puzzles are posted on my YouTube channel. Try to solve without referring to it first :) I include this here as an option to increase accessibility to my puzzles. Happy solving!
Rules:
- Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
- Cells in cages sum to the total in the top left corner. In this puzzle, cage totals are given as letters, whose value must be deduced. Each of the 4 letters has a unique sum (i.e. A can't be the same as C G or E).
- Digits can not repeat along the 2 diagonal lines.
- Cells connected by a green line must differ by at least 5.
- Cells connected by a white dot are consecutive.
- Inequality signs (> or ^) point to the smaller of the 2 digits.
Lösungscode: Column 4, from top to bottom, as a 9-digit string

Absolutely beautiful puzzle, from deducing the cages to the way the german whispers got involved on the diagonals, just absolutely WOW. Amazing puzzle!

Thanks to everyone who solved it so far! I did not expect ~120 solves in only ~2 days and I'm glad it's well-received. I have a few ideas for future puzzles but I don't currently have enough time to make any more, I expect that to change by around April or May :)

Really really nice. Smooth sailing the whole way through. Lovely break-in with really fun math. A wonderful debut as a puzzle setter. Hope you will make another one similar to this one. Really fun to solve

A little bit of math in my life
A little bit of math by my side
A little bit of math's all I need
A little bit of math's what I see
A little bit of math in the sun
A little bit of math all night long
A little bit of math, here I am
1,2,3,4,5
8,9,10,11,12
... G-A = 4
