It's on the check list.
I also see where the strike hit and seems deflected..
Had I grabbed an empty after fixing the chamber it may look totally different......may also look the same.

Thoughts ?
Looks fine to me.
Definitely different than before.

Still a strange, irregular, angle along the rim

I won't argue that
But with strikes like that on a rimfire I don't see a need to replace it

I agree 100%! As long as the pin is retracting into the bolt body and not binding on the hole on the breech and sticking out (which is needless to say dangerous) I wouldn't screw around with it. And in any case if there is any deformation one quick light tap with a hammer on a flat surface or a swift pass with a fine file should take care of it. They are not all that thick or tough

Should cover the edge of the rim
its not a square outside edge

I havent found a spent 22 case to photo

if its working its good enough
Dont file it that may end up producing light strikes

I do think it varies but going from memory most hit just inside of the edge
