Rules:

Chaos Construction: divide the grid into regions, each consisting of nine orthogonally connected cells. Each row, column and region contains the digits 1-9 once each.
Zippers: digits an equal distance to the central cell (marked with a circle) of a lavender zipper line sum to the central digit. Additionally, the central cell cannot belong to the same region as its zipper's legs. Each leg must be contained within one region, but both zipper's legs may belong to two distinct regions.
Sightlines: the digit in a zipper's circle shows how many region cells it sees in its row and column, including the cell with the circle itself, until it reaches the borders of the region.

Solution code: Row 9, left to right, with "-" representing the region borders (for example, 12-34-5-678-9)
