Hybrid Series #1: Pentominous Mid-Loop

Rules:

Draw a non-intersecting, non-branching loop through the centers of some cells that passes through every clue. Each clue marks the center of the straight line segment it lies on. Circles, letters, and question marks all count as clues for these purposes. (Mid-Loop)

Divide the grid into regions of five orthogonally connected cells so that no regions of the same shape share an edge, counting rotations and reflections as the same. Clued cells must belong to a region with the pentomino shape associated with that letter. If a letter is on a border, EXACTLY ONE of those cells belongs to the pentomino associated with that letter. A question mark on a border indicates a defined edge between two unknown pentominoes. (Pentominous)

Finally, each pentomino letter has the same amount of cells the loop passes through in every instance of that particular letter. For example, if a "U" pentomino has one cell the loop passes through, then all "U" pentominoes have exactly one cell the loop passes through. Different letters may have different loop totals (Interaction)

Answer check should work if all the loop AND region edges are drawn in green. As having both of them be green can be awkward while solving, feel free to solve and mark however you wish and then just enter the solution code
