Cannot connect Argon to WiFi or set it up via app

Firmware
1

For some reason I can’t post in the Troubleshooting category, so I’m asking here.

I’m trying to get my Argon connected but It doesn’t work. The app gets to 'You’ve successfully paired Argon", then errors out with “Device is in invalid state, please reset the device and start again”.

Particle CLI setup exits without an error immediately:

$ particle setup --verbose --yes

! PROTIP: Hold the MODE/SETUP button on your device until it blinks blue!
! PROTIP: Please make sure you are connected to the internet.

Setting up WiFi over serial gets it only to green blinking state:

$ particle serial wifi
? Should I scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks? Yes
? Select the Wi-Fi network with which you wish to connect your device: 99 problems but WiFi ain't one
? Should I try to auto-detect the wireless security type? Yes
> Detected WPA(PSK/AES,TKIP/TKIP) WPA2(PSK/AES,TKIP/TKIP) security
? Wi-Fi Password [my password]
Done! Your device should now restart.

Inspect gives me:

And identify gives me:

$ particle serial identify

Your device id is e00xxxxxxxxxx
Your system firmware version is 2.1.0

I’ve already tried the Mesh Setup over USB article but no change.

I have a Particle Debugger available in case that helps.

Here’s some additional information. here’s some additional information about this issue. I flashed the cloud-debug FW and here is the output I’m getting:
