2013 Toyota Prius Three — anyone else: No crank, lights work, then it suddenly starts

Twice this month I turned the key/button and got lights but no crank. After trying again a few minutes later it started normally. Battery connections look clean. Starter relay, brake switch, starter itself, or something else? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

If it were in my driveway, if a shop can't duplicate it on the 2013 Toyota Prius, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. I'll poke at it this weekend.
