So how do I add this to QGIS as a new EPSG code.  All the solution I'm finding say to use the Custom CRS thing.

If the Custom CRS tool is insufficient, the storage of the SRS is in an
sqlite database srs.db I believe (has been that way for years now).

If that's a somewhat official code in use in the wild that doesn't
conflict with other codes, you can put in a ticket to the proj project
to make sure it gets into their database which I think is what QGIS
syncs with on occasion.
