@klanomath posted a comment to my question asking how many blocks were zero out. I think he must have assumed that none were. However, I did verify that enough were zeroed out that the answer gpt add -i 2 -b 409640 -s 1953115488 -t 7C3457EF-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC disk0 could not have worked.

| Mar 1, 2020 at 0:51 | comment | added | Artorius Castus | nope, I've still got the question mark white folder showing up at startup @DavidAnderson. I got sloppy and didn't make a time machine to save my behind. | |

| Feb 29, 2020 at 23:44 | comment | added | Artorius Castus | I took a step back, removed the partition disk0s2, and used the proper syntax that you've brought to light. | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 23:39 | comment | added | Artorius Castus | thats a handwritten mistake of sorts, I'll change it since i just attempted the proper command you dropped @klanomath | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 23:34 | comment | added | klanomath | The output of the diskutil list command (a 1000 GB APFS partition) indicates that you issued another gpt command than written in your question. | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 23:29 | comment | added | Artorius Castus | ah, that makes sense, I can only hope now that my mistake is not one which I cannot recover from. :V | |

A proper command would have been gpt add -i 2 -b 409640 -s 1953115488 -t 7C3457EF-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC disk0 (without the earlier diskutil partitionDisk ... command).

gpt add -i 2 -b 409640 -s 195311549 ... is wrong somehow: this creates a ~100 GB APFS partition.
