Kraken cell (12369)r8c2
(1)r8c2 - r8c9 = r3c9 - (1=3784)r2c1238
(2|9)r8c2 - (29378=4)b1p24568
(3|6)r8c2 - (369=4)r789c1 - r23c1 = (4)r2c3
=> -4 r2c7; lclste
But the puzzle is also solved (with lcls finish) in two rather simple steps:
1. (6)r1c9 = (61-2)r38c9 = (249-5)r3c128 = r1c3 - r6c3 = (54)r26c7 => -6 r2c7; lcls, 4 placements
