A Brilliant Opening Gambit

▶Today's Puzzle◀

Today's puzzle is a debut on the channel by Mark Sweep (aka Frostini)! It's not easy but it is extremely clever. You can play the puzzle here:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/webapp/4R79M4b7f2

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Clues outside the grid indicate the sum of digits along the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat along this diagonal. White dots separate cells with consecutive digits. Black dots separate cells with a 1:2 ratio between their digits. Not all possible dots have been given. Cells containing a 1 & 2 can be separated by either a black or a white dot.
