I had replaced the alternator about a year before when the car stopped dead conveniently in my driveway. So I was hoping it wasn’t that. The battery issue was actually about 4 months ago now, the car has been running fine since.

Usually if your battery is nearly dead, your radio and lights will totally dim out when you turn the ignition.

Bad connection to the radio. Once the car is running, power comes from the alternator

The battery was likely intermittently shorting internally. They have a lead lattice inside and what will happen is part of the lattice breaks and then connects two lattices together creating an internal short. Between the alternator and the correctly functioning parts of the battery the car would still run, but the amperage must have been dropping low enough for the radio to shut off occasionally. It's likely the radio is just more sensitive to voltage or amperage drops than other components.
It threw me for a loop at the time. The first time the battery was dead, I couldn't figure out why or how. I figured my wife left her lights on or something. Once the radio thing happened, and then when it died at the gas station, I knew something else was up.

Or bad alternator doing screwy shit or for all we know some other bizarre electrical gremlins lurking around these cars now adays

The engine doesn’t need electrical power to run.

The engine is internal combustion. The battery is just to supply the initial shock to ignite fuel then it just sits there and gets charged by the alternator.
The alternator powers the electrical shit in your car while running

I'd say based on that comment alone you are well out of your depth on this one, koods.
Just about every single modern car, post like 1990, will need at least 10v (some sensors are 5v) to operate various sensors required trigger the ignition sequence as well as the fuel injection sequence. This is why it's very hard to push start a modern car, because you have to generate enough alternator voltage to bring these sensors as well as the ecu online.

Diesels can run without power cuz they fire on compression which is really cool

Lots of motors can run without a battery, but they need a magneto type ignition, and usually carburetors.
Anything that is fuel inject will at a minimum have to run a fuel pump and actuate those injectors. Now you could use capacitors instead of a battery, it has been done before, but either way you are storing voltage on board.

It cranked over this morning! I still want to take it in and get it tested.
I'm starting to think a light stayed on and drained the battery.

I had a short to ground. That usually melts the wire.
