dig a touch deeper and verify the starter cables themselves are in good nick as well since same symptoms would appear
I looked at the grounds and none were broken or anything unusual with them.
Shop diagnosed it as a starter failure as well. I even touched a couple up with a wire brush to ensure good contact.

They've got the starter off the car and off the car it wont extend the thing to the flywheel.
So its functional and works but just doesnt extend out to start.
Explains the faint noise I heard while pressing and holding the button
