I am uncertain about this. I have no definite knowledge nor proof, but I
would have thought these are persistent, IE it's legal to update some of
them, their validity depending on something else.

Wondering if the tested streams are thus conformant.

But I don't know the actual rule. Maybe finding an EOB/EOS NUT? Related to
some particular shape of a clean random access point, that would require
retransmitting VPS/SPS/PPS/APS/... ?

Asking Benjamin Bross might be a better option here.
