after latest update alarms not sounding in do not disturb. Investigation shows “clock” app no longer available for selection of apps that can over do not disturb / focus settings. How can I hear my alarms?

Resolved through apple support

1. Clock alarms will now always break through Do Not Disturb, and are no longer listed on focus excretions as they are not affected by focus : do not disturb sessions

2 there is a new attention setting that can mute alarms when the phone thinks it is in use. This sometimes mistakenly, mute alarms the default setting when introduced was “on”, so I said it to off
