This Sudoku Rule Should Be ILLEGAL

Описание: ** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
The most evil sudoku rules in history make an appearance this evening in an extraordinary collaboration between some of the brightest minds in the world of sudoku (and therefore some of the brightest minds full stop.) The authors are Jeet Sampat, Myxo, dumediat, damasosos92, Agent, SSG, glum_hippo, Playmaker6174, tallcat, Malrog, mnasti2, Piatato, Christounet, MaizeGator and Shintaro Fushida-Hardy and the sudoku is called Lost and Found. Simon never wants to see this ruleset ever again!!!

Rules
Fill the grid with digits 1-9 so that each row, column, and box contains exactly 8 unique digits. Digits along an arrow must sum to the digit in the attached bulb. Digits along a thermometer must not decrease from the bulb end to the tip. Two cells connected by a green line must have a difference of at least 5. Clues outside the grid give the number of digits visible from the clue's position, given that each digit blocks the view of any digits behind it that aren't larger than it. Along a blue line, box borders divide the line into smaller segments with the same sum. Digits can repeat along a segment if allowed by other rules.
