2024 Ford Mustang GT — intermittent metallic rattle after cold start

QuietGarageCommunity StarterDec 5, 20252024 Ford Mustang GTUpstate New York
2024 Ford Mustang GT, about 78,000 miles. For the first few seconds after a cold start I hear a metallic rattle, then it disappears and won't come back once the engine is warm. No warning lights and it drives normally. Has anyone chased something like this without just replacing random parts? Any data points from owners would help.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Move a coil or plug on the 2024 Ford Mustang if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Save the big job until that test fails. That's the whole play. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
