About This Puzzle
This is the sixth edition of "Dazed Out", a puzzle series primarily built around the Sudoku variant "Chaos Construction". This time, it's back to classics with X-sums, but there is a catch.
RULES
-
1. Chaos Construction:
Divide the grid into 9 regions that all consist of 9 orthogonally connected cells each.
Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column and region once each.
-
2. Inside X-Sums:
Clues on the grid show the sum of the first X digits along the given direction, including themselves, where X is the digit in the clued cell. Furthermore, the first X cells all belong to the same region, and there are no other cells that belong to their region in the direction of the arrow. A ? can be any number from 1 to 45.
Lösungscode: Digits of the only region that contains the center cell (r5c5) in normal reading order.

Prevented the CC from having 2 solutions, that was an oversight.

The 2 CC solutions make me rather confused in the last part, although it is beautiful before that.
.proxz14's response: That was a total oversight, I didn't consider that option at all, now I've added a clue that's otherwise not so impactful to fix this.

I feel there might be a double solution in terms of CC, considering the northernmost regions can be constructed in two ways that don't break the puzzle. Still, beautiful solve up until that point.
