I think if a Taproot spending path is used, then only that path will be revealed in the BIP141 (the witness program BIP)-style witness, not the public key since it would be excluded in this case, right?
The tweaked public key is exposed in the taproot address itself. Spending and witness data is not necessary. A taproot address is simply a native segwit output with version number 1 instead of 0, followed by the 32 byte tweaked public key. If you spend from a taproot output using script path, then the internal public key is also revealed as part of the control block.
