43. A smiley, dah!

 So the title of this puzzle kind of looks like a cryptic clue even though I'm not trying to make it a cryptic clue (literally just look at the puzzle)

This puzzle has two of the constraints from the "green" puzzle I mentioned in Synergia (41) (which got rated on LMD as I'm writing this lol). And this puzzle has a smile! And the thumbnail has a cat that'll probably make you happy!!!

Also nothing new from uni other than trying to learn asymptote code to add graphs to my notes

Variant 1: German Whispers \ Adjacent digits along a green German Whispers line must differ by at least 5.

Variant 2: Killer Cages \ Digits in a killer cage do not repeat and sum to the value in the top-left corner.
