Going through Andrew's WT. I guess I'm not going to be able to solve this puzzle by myself.

Should that be N1, or am I misunderstanding something?
Apologies, my error,
I was thinking of a different 17(5) cage when I typed that. It should be 17(5) cage at
R2C5. I'll correct this, and any further errors if they appear, once you've finished going through my WT.

I have no clue how you are getting this. Please explain the logic.
In step 3 the 4 innies have three possible combinations, containing one of 5,6,7. R6C1 only contains {567} so the other three innies cannot contain any of these digits; R4C3 is already {12} so 5,6,7 are eliminated from R4C1 + R6C3.
I suppose, with hindsight, step 3a would have been clearer if I'd written it as 5,6,7 of {1237/1246/1345} must be in R6C1 -> no 5,6,7 in R4C1 + R6C3. I'll do that when I correct any errors.
Hope this helps. I'll keep my files open until you've finished going through my WT.
Also note that step 5 would have been simpler if I'd spotted R17C5 = {89} (hidden pair in C5). Then step 5 would because R7C5 + R8C6 = {89} (hidden pair in N8). I'll add a note about that to my WT when I update it.
