Look at those lines

This puzzle has been my seventh feature on Cracking the Cryptic (click here to see Mark solving it). It combines the idea of look-and-say cages with a global anti-knight constraint. I hope that you enjoy the puzzle. Constructive feedback is always appreciated! The rules are as follows:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Cells that are a knight's move away are not allowed to contain identical digits. Both digits (which can be equal) on the endpoints of a line form a look-and-say clue. For example, if the digits on the endpoints are 5 and 3, then there have to be exactly five 3s AND three 5s on this line. The different line colors are only used to avoid confusion regarding line crossings.

Lösungscode: Digits in row 9, read from left to right.

WOW!
Thank you, now I feel dumber than before...

thanks for the light blue triangle, I thought I get the rule and that small thingy actually revealed an obvious point about the ruleset I hadn't considered... then I was essentially sure it's again the shortest line (and what that implies ...)
and then I got a totally different digit in (all nine of them) and then another (again the whole lot) and another and every time I thought "now it's time for that short line to fall apart" and every time I was wrong.. and then eventually 50 or so digits placed I was positive it'll be time to go and disambiguate that line... aaaaand nope.. 13 digits later
those endpoints are the only digits missing throughout the board.
Yeah sure, with nothing else left it was indeed time for it to fall apart, but I was wrognestest in about every assumption in regard to that particular line.
I feel dumb now.

What a beautiful puzzle!
oh visually I'm on jeffrey's side... if it weren't for his comment I would have gladly skipped this bowl of technicolor spaghetti

So, thank you jeffrey for your comment!

I usually avoid puzzles with too much visual stimulation, but this is a fun puzzle with interesting logic.
