Tessellation

This is my first sudoku puzzle! I have been introduced to sudoku variants for about 3 weeks, since stumbling upon the Cracking the Cryptic channel. I would love feedback, as I am eager to keep learning!
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1–9 once in each row, column, and box.
Arrow: Digits along an arrow must sum to the number in the circled cell.
Renban: A line marked as renban must contain a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
German Whispers: Adjacent digits along a green line must differ by at least 5.
Killer: Digits in cages sum to the given digit.
Solution code: Enter the digits in row 9, from left to right.

Actually, the constraint on the cages is just called "killer". The name "little killer" is used for puzzles in which the sums of some diagonals are given. For example:

Thanks for catching those things! I added the little killer directions and updated the solution code directions as well. <3

This was closer to 2 stars in my opinion. With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzle, very nice debut!

Nice puzzle!
When the solution code failed, I tried the other rows and found that row 9 works.
P.S.: You should mention in the rules that digits in a cage sum to the given number.

The solution code isn't working (https://imgur.com/a/6URtoGR), but that was a very nice puzzle! Cracking the Cryptic is how I started too. There were difficult deductions in this puzzle but it felt worthwhile

Added a note at the beginning.
