Today’s GAPP is a Terra X! I imagine "terra" refers to the separated land regions in the grid, but what does the X mean? Is it referencing the four-way X-shaped boundaries between regions, which are all clued? Is it the Roman numeral for 10, which is the sum at these locations? Or is a reference to "X marks the spot", pointing to a hidden treasure somewhere in these land regions? Or maybe it’s a diagonal plus sign, pointing to the existence of a Terra ＋ variant 🚨 IMPORTANT INTERFACE NOTE 🚨

Rules: Place a digit from 0 to 9 into each region. Regions which share an edge may not contain the same digit. All groups of regions which meet at a four-way intersection (marked with a dot) must contain digits summing to 10.

⚠️ Interface Note ⚠️: For answer check, place numbers for multi-cell regions in the dotted circles!
