i386 is not really properly supported arch for trixie anymore:

> From trixie, i386 is no longer supported as a regular architecture: there is no official kernel and no Debian installer for i386 systems.

> Users running i386 systems should not upgrade to trixie. Instead, Debian recommends either reinstalling them as amd64, where possible, or retiring the hardware.

> retiring the hardware.

Contrast of age of retired hardware with Windows 11 is a little funny.

There is still a i386 user space for amd64 systems so this doesn't change anything.
