It didn't go as quickly as expected, but nevertheless, the process began today and ended on a positive note. Thank you to everyone involved!

Thank you, that's really helpful advice. I double-checked both points: The Google Lens search opens in a fresh in-app web view with no cookies or sign-in, so it works the same way on a clean review device. Outside the EU no consent page appears; inside the EU the app declines optional cookies up front. The App Review Notes contain exactly the same text as my Resolution Center reply: one image goes directly to Google Lens only when the user taps the button, everything else stays on the device. This matches the privacy policy and the App Privacy answers (Data Not Collected). I'll keep the submission in the queue and follow up through a single support case if the status doesn't change. Thanks again! Ps. but my app review status is still the same, without changes :(
