How could I be 100% positive?
Your described symptom is "classic" bad battery connection or bad battery
You are there I am not, if battery is OK, 12.3v-12.8volts, and cables are clean and tight
And starter relay clicks when key is turned, so that part is OK
But lights go dead and battery volts go to 0 then last on the list is bad battery cables or starter motor, and starter is far more likely to go bad than the cables
Pull the starter motor out, that part is free
Then test it using your battery
Guessing doesn't find out whats wrong, at some point you have to test things
