The Raspberry Pi OS kernels are not fixed like the Debian ones are. The latest Pi needs some extra drivers so works best with a newer kernel which includes drivers for Raspberry Pi.I assumed that since the rpi-update stable kernel went to 6.12.y that an update to Trixie was imminent, but that does not appear to be the case.
It is unlikely that Raspberry Pi OS images for Trixie will be released before it officially becomes the Debian "Stable" release. I don't believe a date has been announced for that yet, but it is likely to be some time this summer.
It has happened just once before, when a new Pi was launched shortly before Debian was due to release a new stable version, so all the work for the new Pi had been done on the "Testing" release.
