Won't even look for a one-shot because I simply cannot resist the little pattern in the first step.
Code: | *-----------------------------------------------------------*
| 18 48 14 | 2 7 9 | 3 5 6 |
| 5 3 9 | 14 146 146 | 8 7 2 |
| 2 7 6 | 3 5 8 | 9 1 4 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 18 489 14 | 7 3 456 | 46 2 59 |
| 6 2 3 | 149 8 15 | 147 49 1579 |
| 7 49 5 | 149 146 2 | 146 3 8 |
|-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
| 4 16 7 | 8 2 3 | 5 69 19 |
| 3 5 2 | 6 9 14 | 147 8 17 |
| 9 16 8 | 5 14 7 | 2 46 3 |

Same as Luke; this type of solution was not expected. |

I also initially found the BUG-Lite, so I made a second pass and found a xy-wing with a two fins.
aaxy-wing(46-1)b5q38+r8c6 with two fins: (5)r4c6 and (4)r6c5; r5c6, r9c5<>1
xy-wing (46-1) b5q38+r8c6;
||
(5)r4c6-(5=9)r4c9-(9=1)r7c9-r8c79=r8c6;
||
(4)r6c5-(4=9)r6c2-r4c2=r4c9-(9=1)r7c9-r8c79=r8c6;
