Constructor's Note
Huge thanks to Eden, Renee, Ori, and Joeadultman (and his stream at twitch.tv/joeadultman) for the test solve and advice! I hope you're as delightedly miserable solving this as I was clueing it <333. (Also I'm unemployed and struggling, so if this brings you joy feel free (and not obligated!) to tip, my venmo is also akatookey.)
