Sluggish and fancy

I made this puzzle for an impostor prompt on Scojo's Twitch stream
Rules:Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and 3×3 box.
Little Killer: Numbers outside the grid are the sum of the digits pointed to along the indicated diagonal. Digits are allowed to repeat along those diagonals as normally allowed by other rules.
Modular Lines: Teal lines in the grid are modular lines. Any three adjacent digits along a modular line have a distinct remainder when dividing by 3. Digits that share a remainder are (1, 4, 7); (2, 5, 8); (3, 6, 9). Digits may repeat on these lines if allowed by other rules.
Solution code: Row 8 (left to right, no spaces)

Took me 25 minutes. Didn't take too long to spot the math trick or to use it effectively. There's a secondary break-in that took me a little longer. After that, it was pretty smooth. I liked those layered challenges.

Challenging and requires a math secret, but even with that knowledge, it was no walk in the park. Delightful puzzle!

You know? I found this to be quite brisk and modest, myself. Excellent puzzle.
