Craven, by James Sinclair
Normal sudoku rules apply, and all clues are standard.
Killer cages: the sum of the digits inside each cage is equal to the small number in the top left corner.
Arrows: the sum of the digits along an arrow is equal to the digit in the connected circle.
Renban lines: purple lines contain a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order.
Digits in cells separated by a white dot are consecutive.

I didn't get the break-in so I used a lot of bifurcation over 53 minutes, but it's a very nice puzzle!

How do you come up with these elegant constructions time and time again? Surely there is some sort of dark wizardry involved.
