I?m not quite sure where you?re getting some of those timelines from,
but anyway, the relevant part is the the table giving release end of
life dates, and the EOL for bookworm is June 2026.

There is an LTS process, though, which looks like it?ll extend bookworm
security support into 2028, albeit that they don?t seem to have decided
on the scope for bookworm LTS yet (thought it?d be surprising if it
excluded arm64).

Right. So Debian userland and the Pi kernel are still in support but
Pi-specific userland is already out of support.
