Red is the fastest color.

If it's a 64-count box, eat the red and use the red-orange for lube. Small compromises are acceptable here.

Break out your park tools kickin' boot tool you used on the front derailleur, that will get it to move. Just don't kick as hard, keep it under 5 nm.

I was using a cordless inflator and Hiro chuck for a little while. For the most part, it worked pretty well. However, I eventually got intolerant of the noise, and went back to using a floor pump (Silca Terra).

This iPhone 6 is too old to post pictures on bikeforums apparently, but I promise the indicator is a red arrow and if it’s adjustable it’s very stuck. Don’t think it’s adjustable.

Yes, it's very stuck. Any alternative explanation is unlikely, to put it mildly. Grab it (gently) with curved-jaw ChannelLocks or ViceGrips to break it free from the corrosion that's keeping it from rotating.

The pump says 90, but what does the hand say?

It could be you are trying to upload the wrong format for the pictures. Try changing it to save as JPEG.
It makes no sense that there would be a fixed mark at 90 PSI (or any other pressure).

Today I’m going to help this scientist helium leak check his system, and he happened to be a former world tour mechanic or something like that, and I’ll have him take a look
