Ambiguous dots

[filuta]

Hi all,

I've been watching Cracking the Cryptic for over a year, had an idea for a puzzle and decided to try setting it.
Hope you try it out and have fun with it.

Puzzle (in CtC app)

Normal sudoku rules apply, dots separate either consecutive or 1:2 ratio numbers (solver needs to determine which is which), not all dots are given.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi, I solved it and for most parts it is actually a very nice puzzle and not too hard. I don't know whether/how I can add spoilers, so I just write them in a white colour (hopefully that works). I was quickly able to fill in most of boxes 3,4.5 and 6, that was a very nice part actually. But then I got stuck with box 8 where I essentially moved forward only after kind of tedious process of elimination of candidated in r9c7 (this was the only part I didn't really like). But after I determined the chain of dots in box 8 it then again resolved very nicely. Was there some easier process how to resolve box 8 that I missed?
