Here’s another Will It Square! With Circles and Squares 🔵 🟨

Rules: Shade some cells so that all shaded cells form one orthogonally connected area and each orthogonally connected area of unshaded cells is in the shape of a square. Cells with black circles must be shaded, and cells with white circles must not be shaded. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded.

Here’s a GAPP 101 for a key deduction: What can you say about this pattern, a one-space gap between a pair of black circles and a pair of white circles? https://puzz.link/p?circlesquare/7/6/000003i1600000
