Could be shortened to (9)r7c1 - r4c1 - r4c6 = r6c4 - r8c4 = r8c8 => - 9 r7c89; stte
This X-chain was also in RSW loop, as a subchain

r4c1 == r9c3 (through r7c1) == r7c6 (hidden in c6) => -25r7c6
Nice solution ! It could be presented also as a bivalue oddagon (69)r49, c16, b7, for which it is easier to use the external guardians 6,9 r7c6: (6==9)r7c6 => -25r7c6
