A genuinely excellent puzzle, easily up to Times standards! Bravo. Top half was straightforward enough but the bottom requires some serious thinking. Eventually I cracked COLOURFAST (COD, first rate) and the rest came into place. LOI was LATER, mostly because I couldn’t parse it but also because I couldn’t believe that the puzzle would have the same word twice. 10+ mins. Very, very good, many thanks.
