There's nothing to clean. Everything is pristine. The problem has even persisted across replacement cables and a full top case replacement (the keyboard, of course) where Apple scrubs the whole thing down before they give it back. Maybe I should superstitiously blow on it like it's an NES cartridge. It won't help, but maybe I'll feel like I have some agency.

You sure your power brick is fine? Mine randomly disconnected until I got a replacement. No problems now.

The problem is the laptop connection, not the brick connection.

Haha yikes. I'm not saying that your idea wouldn't work, but I'm definitely not going to do it. :)

Yes, but how about the _inside_ of the USB-C port? Sounds like the inside to me

Yeah, well, it's not.

It's pristine, like I said elsewhere already.
