Expected Behaviour: Glowsquid should only spawn in complete darkness. Any light level greater than 0 should prevent glowsquid spawning
Observed Behaviour: Regardless of lighting added or light level, glowsquid are capable of spawning. Tested with sea lanterns, glowstone and daylight.
To replicate: Find or construct area meeting conditions for glowsquid spawn. Light area as wished. Glowsquid will spawn.

21w40 is the only documented change to glowsquid spawn since 1.17 Pre-release 3, at least that i can find. The notes for 21w40 only specifies a spawn depth change to y=30, so all other spawning behaviour should still be intact. Certainly no changes to the light level condition are documented.
Specifically the full spawning conditions should be in water, below y=30, in complete darkness and not more than 5 blocks above a block with the base_stone_overworld tag. If the light condition was changed, and this intended for 1.18, that change needs to be documented.

Works as intended, glow squids can spawn in any area below Y-30, so a flat world causes glow squids to spawn there, which is also why slimes spawn so frequently in flat worlds.
