Daily XV Sudoku

The extra rule

X joins two cells summing to ten. V joins two cells summing to five.

The letters come from Roman numerals, which is the whole mnemonic: X is ten and V is five.

Every X and V is shown, so an unmarked edge means that pair sums to neither five nor ten. That negative information does most of the work.

Only one pair sums to five in two ways worth noting, and no pair can sum to both five and ten, so a marked edge is never ambiguous.

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.
