Simplest-first solution in BC4: Show
biv-chain[2]: r5n4{c9 c3} - c1n4{r6 r9} ==> r9c9≠4
whip[1]: r9n4{c3 .} ==> r7c2≠4
biv-chain[4]: r6c1{n6 n4} - c8n4{r6 r1} - c5n4{r1 r8} - c5n6{r8 r5} ==> r5c3≠6, r6c4≠6
singles ==> r6c1=6, r9c1=4
biv-chain[3]: r6n4{c2 c8} - r5c9{n4 n8} - b5n8{r5c4 r6c4} ==> r6c2≠8
whip[1]: c2n8{r9 .} ==> r8c3≠8, r9c3≠8
hidden-single-in-a-row ==> r8c6=8
biv-chain[4]: b9n9{r9c9 r7c9} - c9n4{r7 r5} - c3n4{r5 r2} - c3n7{r2 r9} ==> r9c3≠9
biv-chain[4]: c4n4{r8 r3} - b2n6{r3c4 r3c6} - r9n6{c6 c3} - r8c3{n6 n9} ==> r8c4≠9
biv-chain[4]: r1c8{n8 n4} - c5n4{r1 r8} - r8n9{c5 c3} - r4n9{c3 c8} ==> r4c8≠8
singles ==> r4c8=9, r4c3=8
biv-chain[4]: r1n4{c5 c8} - r6n4{c8 c2} - r5c3{n4 n9} - r8n9{c3 c5} ==> r8c5≠4
stte


There's no 1-step solution with whips of reasonable length wrt BC4. The shortest requires length 8, e.g.:
whip[8]: r3n4{c7 c4} - c5n4{r1 r8} - c5n6{r8 r5} - c4n6{r6 r8} - c3n6{r8 r9} - c3n7{r9 r2} - c3n4{r2 r5} - b6n4{r5c9 .} ==> r1c8≠4
stte



There are many 2-step solutions in BC6, e.g.:
biv-chain[4]: r6n6{c1 c4} - c5n6{r5 r8} - c5n4{r8 r1} - c8n4{r1 r6} ==> r6c1≠4
singles ==> r6c1=6, r9c1=4
biv-chain[6]: r3c7{n4 n9} - r3c6{n9 n6} - r9n6{c6 c3} - c3n7{r9 r2} - c3n4{r2 r5} - b6n4{r5c9 r6c8} ==> r1c8≠4
stte

OR:
biv-chain[4]: r6c1{n6 n4} - c8n4{r6 r1} - c5n4{r1 r8} - c5n6{r8 r5} ==> r5c3≠6, r6c4≠6
singles ==> r6c1=6, r9c1=4
biv-chain[6]: r3c7{n4 n9} - r3c6{n9 n6} - r9n6{c6 c3} - c3n7{r9 r2} - c3n4{r2 r5} - b6n4{r5c9 r6c8} ==> r1c8≠4
stte
Same eliminations as RSW, but shorter patterns (mere bivalue-chains instead of ALS chains).

UR 89 r456c348: 46r5c3 or 6r56c4 or 4r6c8
4r5c3 - r5c9 = 48r61c8 - r1c5 = 8r2c5
6r5c3,r56c4 - (6=9)r5c5 - (9=8)r2c5
=> 8r2c5, stte
