cPHulk errors, and not setting firewall rules

I have cPHulk enabled and it does not appear to be setting the firewall rules. Option "Block IP addresses at the firewall level if they trigger a one-day block" is selected, yet when I look in firewalld and iptables, I don't see any rules related to cphulk. Shouldn't there be rules there?

The various cPHulk reports are showing failed logins, blocked IP addresses, and one-day blocks. So, cPHulk appears to be working in general. Using cPanel/WHM 124.0.28 on AlmaLinux 9.5 with the default firewalld (not CSF).

Errors are appearing in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/cphulkd_errors.log
