The Sudoku You Asked Us To Solve!

▶Today's Puzzle◀

We've had a lot of requests to solve this one... it's by the genius Phistomefel and boy-oh-boy is it a mental workout! You can play the puzzle here:

https://app.crackingthecryptic.com/webapp/GBfd7PptH8
Rules:
[Note there is an example puzzle/solution on Logic Masters Germany which would be worth looking at - see link below - if you are unsure about any of the following].
Normal sudoku rules apply. An arrow starts its growth from a cell with a circle and spreads out from there in the form of a path which is one-cell wide and neither crosses nor touches itself orthogonally. The digits on the path (without the circle) must add up to the number in the circle. Two-digit numbers in a circle are read from left to right and the arrow can start from the 'ones' digit or the 'tens' digit. All circles are given and two arrows must not intersect anywhere. A white cell must be part of exactly one arrow; a blue cell cannot contain an arrow; and an orange cell can be part of an arrow or not.

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. In cages digits sum to the small clue in the top left corner of the cage. Digits cannot repeat in a cage. Clues outside the grid give the sum of the cells on the indicated diagonal. Digits may repeat along the diagonal.

Sam has made a video demonstrating the solution path to the puzzle, which patrons of the channel can watch here:
