Expert vs Genius

Описание: Phistomefel returns to Cracking The Cryptic today with his usual stunning puzzle. You can play it here:
https://cracking-the-cryptic.web.app/...

Rules: Normal sudoku rules apply. A number in the upper left corner of a cage indicates the sum of all digits within the cage. Digits may not repeat in a cage. A number outside the sudoku grid indicates the number of switches between odd and even numbers in the corresponding row or column.

You can see an example of how this ruleset operates here:
