Question

Color has shifted in project, I've changed nothing

I export a version recently, wasn't really looking at color because that had already been done and settled on, I haven't touched the color in months. No LUTs were used in this project, it was all manual and the client was VERY particular about it. The last version, they called out that it was looking different. I open it. Surely it is. The project was started in 2022. A weird collection of bugs, namely around the text window prompted me to open it up in 23, which has been really stable for me. I would like to blame that, but that's actually not the case. I opened up the old project from 22 as well, and for whatever reason, the actual source clips are just darker. I open them in VLC, don't look that way. Attached is a screenshot of the Program from PP next to Resolve. There are NO source clip effects, I checked. The color settings themselves have not changed. I don't know what this is, some sort of weird gamma bump or something? Nothing else on my computer has changed, that I can think of. Really hoping for an easy fix that i'm missing here. I've not touched any of the color settings since I deduced that the source clip interpretation or whatever has changed.
Project colorspace is 709. I turned on and off Composite in Linear Color and Display management, no real effect there.
