Google back to indexing, not sure how

I tried to google my name and was pleasantly surprised to find some blog posts from one of my Blogger hosted sites.

When I checked Search Console to see what Google is reporting as having indexed it only showed about half a dozen URLs.

When I used Chrome to run a Lighthouse report to see how mobile is looking it still showed up as involving a redirection to <URL>?m=1 but seemed to be higher scoring than the last time I ran it (wish I'd taken screenshots).

Possibilities

- Blogger may have changed something, such as changing the HTTP response code involved in the redirect to the mobile URL

- Google may have changed something to enable indexing rather than simply failing to reach the canonical URL.

Update

That was short-lived. Now when I google my name it no longer has any results from my blogs, instead it brings up matches for a criminal with a similar name who also happens to live in New Zealand.
