Does macOS 12.3 and beyond phone home with details of images and documents you open in Preview?

No. Why would you think that? It goes against everything they have stated and the designs of the software. They are heavily focused on keeping all of that on device.

As far as I know it's purely local search. I'm guessing this is part of the development arc towards AR applications but in the near term solves the problem of being able to search Photos for "birthday party" and hopefully get something sensible out.

Well other than the proposal specifically outlined in this post, that is. (Pardon if I missed the sarcasm)

Everything is done on device. Which is different than others who choose to do scanning on their servers.

And if the filter thinks the image is positive for CSAM it sends it to Apple, correct? Otherwise there's literally no point.

I tested OCR with Wi-Fi disabled and it still functions. Is Visual Look Up (and Live Text) purely offline, phoning home with CSAM reports, or an offline preview of future technology which phones home with CSAM reports?
