After adding:
- to the generic part of CSP-Rules: OR3-Forcing-Whips
- to SudoRules, the detection of anti-tridagons with more than 2 guardians,
here is my new solution to this puzzle:

i have checked some of the puzzles solved with the tridagon rule with the POM procedure, they all exhibit the same repartion of templates at the start: three values have a relatively higher number of templates than the six others (whose number of templates is rather low), the three values in the tridagon. That repartition make them easy to solve with POM has it lower the number of combinations.
