Echoed Whispers thru the Fog

3.) There's Sum-Thing in the Fog
Solve with SudokuPad
• Normal Sudoku rules apply.
• THERE IS ONE, AND ONLY ONE green line (which creates a loop) and is both a German Whisper (adjacent digits along the line must differ by at least 5) and a Palindrome, along which each pair of digits an equal distance from the line's central cell (indicated by a filled green circle) must be the same digit.
• Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the clue in the top left.
• A black dot between cells indicates cell values with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive values. Not all dots are given.
• The grid is partially covered with fog. Correctly placed digits will clear the fog around that cell. No guessing is required.
Solution code: Enter row 7 digits

For me the break in way the hardest part, but when I got it I wondered how I didn't see it sooner.
I'm not sure how to write this without potential spoilers, so I'll leave it vague. I love what the "end" of the palindrome/german whisper loop does. I wonder if it was on purpose, coincidence or perhaps inevitable.

I forgot about the palindrome rule midway through the solve and got stuck pretty hard. Very fun puzzle if you don't make the same mistake I did.

Forgot the palindrome rule early on which made me struggle haha. Great fun, thanks for sharing.

Very nice puzzle. For me the break in was the most difficult part here, but after that it was pretty chill.

Mostly very approachable. The tougher bit near the end could be frustrating for newer solvers because the difficulty is raised compared to all rest of the puzzle. Great for me though thx.
