Puzzling Asked on June 4, 2021
This is a Sashigane-Statue Park hybrid. The rules might look complicated, but they’re just the two rulesets smushed together. Familiarity with both genres will help.
Statue Park (adapted from here)
Sashigane (adapted from here)
The small white circles for Statue Park ARE NOT large circles for Sashigane. Statue Park’s small white circles may be anywhere in an L-shaped block – at an end, at the knee, or neither.
Now that you’ve survived the rules, the actual puzzle. I’ve included all tetrominoes as a reference.
Nothing below this line is strictly necessary to solve the puzzle. It’s just some useful information/tools, as well as clarifications about what kinds of answers I will accept.
Here is the puzzle in a Penpa editor
The first answer with a fully-explained logical solution path will get the checkmark. A full solution will have all cells confirmed either shaded or unshaded (for Statue Park) and have borders drawn in for all L-shaped blocks (for Sashigane) I welcome multiple answers, if later ones can show a better-explained, more elegant, or significantly different path. Please do not answer without an explanation/solve path.
Here is a tabular transcription good for copying into a spreadsheet. Ignore the header row; the first row with a circle is the first row of the puzzle. The Sashigane circles are depicted only by their contents. So the "5" is a 5 in a large circle and the "?" is a ? in a large circle. All circles shown are Statue Park clues.

Finally, I would like to thank Sciborg. This puzzle type was dreamed up while we were DMing in Discord; they couldn’t decide if they loved Sashigane or Statue Park more. The obvious move was to combine the two genres.

Let's start with some Sashigane logic:
Back to the 5-bend:
And the ? bend again:

A contradiction forces the L and the I:
