Button not detected during "Hold [button name]" in config about gpionext HOT 3 CLOSED

First off, Thanks for being so thorough with your summary. It really speeds up troubleshooting.

I think that what you are probably running into is a problem that I didn't really document. When you set the flags (gpionext set pulldown, for example). it is only setting the flags for the systemctl daemon. So you probably just need to run the config like this,
gpionext config --pulldown and it should recognize it. Alternatively, you can also set pulldown back to false and then wire your buttons as such: gpio board pin → button → any ground pin. The gpio pins are normally high and get pulled low when the button makes a connection to ground. This avoids needing a resistor. The pulldown method is just in case someone had some custom pihat that required it to be pulled low.
