Clean Install MacOS Ventura [Reprise]

I had been trying to fix a problem with macOS Sonoma for more than 2 months. I was unable to access my Mac mini remotely from my MacBook Pro after I restarted the Mac mini. I needed to install a keyboard on the headless Mac mini and manually enter my login password to gain access. Apple was unable to help but was unable to duplicate the problem (which I documented with a 7 minute video).

I decided to do a Clean Install of Ventura on the Mac mini. I verified that everything worked as expected with Ventura. On a flyer, I decided to then upgrade to Sonoma. Lo and behold, even with the latest Sonoma upgrade, everything worked fine. The 2+ month old problem had disappeared by doing a Clean Install.

Next time someone posts that Clean Installs are unnecessary, please feel free to use my experience as a good counterexample. :)
