Steamdeck OLED - No HDR toggle?

Hey, maybe a really dumb question but all the googling I do takes me back to info from 6+months ago. Is HDR working in the Steamdeck OLED build? I picked the Gnome one. Asking because I don't see any HDR toggles in the settings in game mode or any hint to it anywhere. I can understand not working in desktop mode because gnome but game mode uses gamescope which should handle it properly, doesn't it?

There's no HDR toggle even in SteamOS

Isn't there supposed to be some overlay showing hdr info that you can enable in settings? Maybe I have outdated/wrong info. Thanks!

HDR toggle only shows up on non-steam deck hardware, like it shows up on my HTPC, on steam deck oled it is technically enabled but does not engage until a game turns on HDR
