Research direction

Start by reproducing the 2021-10-30 Raspberry Pi OS desktop update and inspect the Raspberry Pi Configuration window's Interface tab alongside vcgencmd get_camera. Compare the pre-update and post-update behavior, using the linked raspinfo.txt and dmesg.txt for system clues. Done means the Camera interface option remains visible after the update while libcamera continues to work.
