The green key symbol is NOT blinking on the display at the end when the car starts properly. That’s what differs in the video and it’s what signals the nature of the problem.
Porsche- I tested this a couple times today and it looks like you are 100% on the money. Thanks much!

Video proof of me re-creating the issue is here:

Indeed, this should be sticky'd!

P.S. I don't get why having the steering wheel solenoid engaged/disengaged would have any bearing on it cranking the engine for you or not, but hey, whatever... I had no clue the car could even tell if the solenoid successfully engaged/disengaged or not!!!
