This is the sort of puzzle where I think screw the one stepper and do the obvious, ie
BUG-lite (type 1) at r2c45, r4c46, r9c56 => -15 r9c5
BUG+1 pattern => r8c9=4; stte

1r8c9 is also an stte elimination. Can anyone supply the chain(s) or network?

-1 r9c9 => 2/4/6 r78c2,r89c4,r79c9. This pattern has no solution, so r9c9=1.

More formally,

1r9c9 = [[4r9c9 = r9c4 - (4=6)r8c4 - r8c2 = (6-2)r7c2 = r7c9] - [2r9c9 = 4r9c9 - (4=6)r9c4 - r8c4 = r8c2 - (6=2)r7c2 - (2=4)r7c9]] => -24 r9c9

Special thanks to Steve and Leren for the helpful feedback!
Still much to learn in this tyro stage!
I like to pick a stte candidate that's not part of a linked cluster, but 1r8c9 was too tough for my Medusa coloring scheme.
