The TDAC is not about the foreigners living in Thailand. It is about inputting and managing the data relating to the arriving foreigners' travel travel to Thailand. The immigration officials will have less checking and typing to do and this will hopefully speed up immigration clearance.

I don't know what country issued your passport, but in my Swiss passport the passport number is not encrypted but shown in plain script. On the ID page, at the top of the page, the number is shown in a regular font, in the second line of the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the page in a special font designed for that purpose.

Thank you for confirming that, contrary to what you posted earlier, it does not say "a South American capital (where the yellow fever risk is zero!)" PS: I've looked it up now on https://thaihealthpass.com/ and this is what it says about the yellow fever vaccination for travel to Thailand (Google translation):

On the TDAC form, it is currently not a required field. If you don't have a visa, leave the field blank. If you have a visa, you can choose between leaving it blank or giving the visa number.

It is correct that a foreigner who has legal residence in a country other than his passport country should indicate the actual country of residence on the TDAC form. Currently, the TDAC form does not allow foreigners with legal residence in Thailand to select Thailand as their country of residence. There has been an announcement that this will be corrected and that in the meantime the country of citizenship should be indicated.

There has been no information that PR holders will be exempt from doing the TDAC.

No information has been published on this subject.

Where does it say that?

No. It means that you did not read or cannot understand the following earlier post in this topic: The last paragraph of that post applies to the situation you have described.

If your scheduled arrival date in Thailand is within three days after your departure date from Thailand, eg a so-called border run, you can complete and print the TDAC before leaving Thailand. Otherwise, you can go to a business centre or a so-called Internet café in the location where you stay outside Thailand or, alternatively, as a last resort, do it on arrival in Thailand using the facilities provided at the arrival point before going to the immigration desk.

Seeing that you have a re-entry permit, you have a temporary permission to stay in Thailand and therefore Thailand is, for immigration purposes, not your country of residence. In your case you should give the name of the country that issued your passport as your country of residence.
