Jeez, this is a horse of a different color.
This is not what I see from a NoteAir2 from 6 months ago.
The partitions for boot/recovery are 100 MB.
The image for boot/recovery are 100 MB because they stick a dozen bytes on the end.
If they didn't the images could be 70-77 MB shorter.

(Because they do this AVB0 signing.)
Ok, moving beyond that. Both boot & recovery have the identical kernel (as to be expected).
But the kernel has increased in size from 35 MB to 50 MB from 6 months ago.

So much for New Year's resolutions to lose some weight.
The dtb sections are the same. There are 3 DTB's in them. And you have a dtbo partition.
So, backtracking a bit. This all started when you tried to Magisk with a boot image you pulled off using EDL? Maybe they started to enforce the AVB0 in abl?
I see that your recovery there has /system/bin/update_engine_sideload which is the new software for working with update.zip with payload.bin
I'm not sure how to use that, but you could try using the decrypted update.zip
Code:
C:\>adb sideload update.zip
I see that xbl is using standard Qualcomm factory signing.
