Debian sid cannot find laptop bluetooth - other distros can

No stranger here to Debian in a variety of branches and derivatives but this one has me stumped.

I have 4 linux distros installed and only sid is having a problem finding the laptop's adapter. This installation is a few months old and otherwise fine. I net installed from a nightly trixie mini and changed over to unstable immediately to update and have had no other issues at all with it - KDE desktop.

I decided to finally try and pair my cell phone with it (moto g) and no adapter found (not using a dongle and don't have one to try). I brought in another package of drivers for the intel cards and that did not help. Checked it out in Mint cinnamon, PCLOS (debian flavor) and Manjaro stable. No issues finding the adapter and pairing my phone.

Before I spend hours downloading a live bookworm image (nursing home wifi at the speed of dialup) any suggestions on what else I might try? I can give you output from sid here or any of the working installs.

I realize you need specific info but please advise what I need to possibly remove from the output to avoid posting sensitive info from a security standpoint.
