    Its next and most useful recommendation was to place a semaphore

    Clearly something went wrong already when you created and wrote the
    image with the Pi Imager since apparently ssh wasn't running and your
    account wasn't correctly set up. Looks like the second method to enable
    ssh worked but it wasn't a sufficient fix.

    I don't know what to propose to fix the installation. Maybe start over
    with the Pi Imager, possibly with another SD card.

    I have to say I have a solid mistrust of SD cards in general and avoid
    using them. I have one working Pi but it's the compute module kind with
    on board eMMC for reliable if slow storage. But installing an OS on that
    is a little harder.
