Tried to verify what you said by looking up the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1923/text).

That actually does not authorize the issuance of new dimes. It is solely limited to new quarters and dollar coins.

I stopped verifying after that, so it's possible the rest of what you said is true? But the first bullet doesn't seem to be accurate.

Good eye! However:

"Notwithstanding the 4th, 5th, and 6th sentences of subsection (d)(1), the Secretary may change the design on any of the coins authorized under this section and minted for issuance during the one-year period beginning January 1, 2026..."

The "section" it refers to is 31 U.S.C. § 5112, which is the overarching law that defines all U.S. coinage. By saying "any of the coins," it grants the Treasury Secretary the discretionary power to redesign the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half dollar for the 2026 anniversary.
