Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2; for n > 2, a(n) is the least positive integer not occurring earlier such that a(n) shares no digit with a(n-2) + a(n-1).

COMMENTS
The sequence is likely to be finite although it contains at least 100000 terms.
Sequence is finite with 4128755 terms, since a(4128754) = 46946449 and a(4128755) = 777000707 have sum 823947156. - Michael S. Branicky, Apr 08 2023

EXAMPLE
a(10) = 20 as a(8) + a(9) = 8 + 9 = 17, and 20 is the smallest unused number that does not contain the digits 1 or 7.
