Verdict line at exit:
  Peak ICP 376 psi -- did NOT reach 500 psi -- suspect high-pressure oil bleed-off.

Headline:
  * Peak ICP reached 376 psi during cranking -- below the ~500 psi
    needed to physically open injectors.  Truck CANNOT fire from cold
    start on its own.  Matches the ether-only-starts symptom exactly.
  * FICM Main minimum 48.0 V -- healthy (corroborates the meter).
  * Battery minimum 10.3 V -- sag but adequate.
  * 376 psi is "almost there", not zero.  HPOP is making real pressure,
    just losing it.  Suggests a partial leak -- IPR seat / oil rail
    O-rings / partial STC fitting crack -- rather than a fully blown STC.
