The Sudoku With Only 4 Lines

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Thank you all so much for an incredible experience in Stratford-Upon-Avon yesterday. We were quite overwhelmed with the warmth of the welcome and seeing so many actual people (IN REAL LIFE) who watch and enjoy the channel.
We thought it would be appropriate to do a puzzle today by someone we met! So here's a really beautiful sudoku by Dr Logic called 4 Lines. It is far from clear how such short lines can cause the grid to solve uniquely but somehow they do!!
Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Each line is both a region sum line and a zipper line. Along a region sum line, the 3x3 box borders divide each a red line into segments with the same sum. Along a zipper line, digits equidistant from the centre of the line (marked with a red circle) sum to the digit in the centre of the line (if the line has a centre). Digits cannot repeat on each marked diagonal.
