Declared Age Range usage and requirements

I’ve been using the Age Assurance support page and related Developer News posts as the source of truth for understanding Apple’s expectations around Age Assurance on Apple platforms:

https://developer.apple.com/support/age-assurance/

https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=sg176nne

Can anyone from Apple clarify whether anything has recently changed with App Review expectations related to Age Assurance?

Specifically, are there any new requirements or updated guidance around implementing technologies like DeclaredAgeRange or PermissionKit?

I didn’t see any sessions or announcements that indicated these frameworks are now required but with all of the new child safety announcements I thought I'd ask and document for the developer community. I did see the new sample code for implementing Age Assurance and permissions, but nothing suggesting their use is mandatory for App Store approval.

Just trying to confirm whether current guidance remains the same, or if App Review expectations are evolving.
