Extended Turbot Crane:

(7)r5c6 = r4c5 - r1c5 = r1c7 - r7c7 = (7)r7c8 => -7 r5c8; stte

aka Obi-Swordfish: 7:r17b5\r5c578 => -7 r5c8; stte

or (UFG) Finned Franken Swordfish: 7:r17b5\c578 f:r5c6

That's such a boring solution that now I can finally start my vacation :D I won't even look at tomorrow's puzzle. I promise.

Edit: added the UFG name and form, removed the "mutant"-qualifier from the obi-fish (not sure what it should be, if any).

I think this logic is right...
Myth's CoALS rule applied to the two overlapping ALS tagged (a).

Your eliminations are redundant (5r1c7 and 5r3c4 have obviously the same parity) So with 5r3c4 as a target, you could shorten your chain to:
(5=79)r5c48 - 7r5c6 = (457)b2p129 => -5 r3c4 ; stte
No comment on your last node ;)

...why not (59=7)r5c48 - r5c6 = (71)r3c46 => -5 r3c4 ; stte ?

To me this logic is right, and moreover, very nice !
Note that the simple version of this is Clement's XY-chain...

Everyone refrained to mention the most simple (boring ?) solution:
Finned swordfish (7)r147c578 + fin r4c9 => -7 r5c8; ste
So, my turn for a needlessly complex solution:

Perhaps because it's neither the simplest nor the most boring? :) I would still argue that my non-grouped X-Chain wins in both categories. A finned swordfish may traditionally have a low rank in many pattern hierarchies (*), but in practice it's not easy to spot for a manual solver or even objectively a simple pattern. However, this one is not so bad because it's findable as a chain (basically an extended Grouped Skyscraper; just change the first node of my chain to (7)r4c789), but it's still harder and more complex than a simple X-Chain of the same length (or practically any length, imho). Of course the fish form is simpler in this case (finned basic vs finned franken), which matters if someone actually looks for fishes before chains.

(*) Added. Now that I actually checked, that's true about Hodoku's default hierarchy (Finned Swordfish before X-Chain) but in SudokuWiki it's the other way around. I definitely side with SudokuWiki on this one, which rarely happens. Fortunately Hodoku's hierarchy can be tuned to match reality / one's preferences.

Btw, I'm glad to see many not-so-boring solutions -- including rarities such as the CoALS and the bivalue oddagon!

Edit 2: mutant -> franken

Thumbs up for a creative way to mark the subchain! Perhaps a different color, though? At first it looked like you'd marked errors in your own chain! :) I like the idea anyway!
