I'm trying to reconstruct the WCP Honors!

I agree with Jota's guess.

After the line logic is done there is a clump in the upper left. R4C4 being black makes R7C4 black, R1C4 a dot and R7C1 black. That contradicts column 7. C3R3 must be a dot or you have 2 to the left of C3. Same for C2R3. That allows you to start on the 3 in row 5.

I used two-way logic on the 3 in r1.
> If it goes left, it will trigger the 2 in c4 which will force the 3 in r4 to make c1-2 black
> If it goes right, it will trigger the 1 in c7 which will again crowd the 3 into c1-2
= Therefore r4c1-2 must be black
LL

Look at the three 2s in c1-3. The 1 in r3 means that at least two of them must go down into r5. And if any go down into r5, then r5c2-3 must be black.
LL to finish

Found to have a unique solution by infrapinklizzard.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
