Daily Centre Dot Sudoku

The extra rule

The nine box centres hold 1 to 9.

The marked cell in the middle of each box forms one extra region. Those nine centres must hold 1 to 9 between them.

One extra region sounds slight, and it is the gentlest variant here, but it links all nine boxes to each other in a way plain sudoku never does.

Controls

Solvable Without Guessing

Every puzzle here was generated and then handed to a solver that is only allowed techniques a person can use. If it could not finish the grid without a guess, the puzzle was thrown away rather than published. That also makes the answer unique, because every digit it placed was forced.
