Quite fun - I like the 1-9 skyscaper variant. Does it solve with just these?

Because it says "NOT all white dots are given", normal Kropki rules do not apply.
This happens for consecutive 2-3 cells which are XV variant V (listed) and also consecutive Kropki (not listed).
I had to modify SiSeSuSo a bit to neglect consecutive Kropki constraints, if not listed.
All is solvable without the killer cages and the outside sum-of-cells between 1 and 9.
Only KR (double or consecutive) and XV (sum up to 10 or 5) constraints are sufficient.

The solution of this nice puzzle is here:
In the original puzzle with XV (10/5) AND with 2+3=5 constraint "V", there is no "open dot" Kropki consecutive constraint visible.
In the hidden solved image the "V" (sum to 5) and the "O" (open consecutive dot) are both visible.
SiSeSuSo String code is:
