this worked very well, and the script was able to complete STAGE 5 and 6, however
the external USB mouse no longer works, even after unplug/replug.
Is sys-usb running?
Check the policy for mouse in Qubes Global Settings → USB Devices.
What’s the sys-usb template?
Do you see your mouse in Qubes Devices widget?
sys-usb is running.
USB Qube: Mouse enabled
sys-usb template is debian-12
The mouse is present in USB optical devices, yes.
Disconnect USB mouse from USB port.
Run this command in both sys-usb and dom0 terminals:
sudo journalctl -f -n0
Connect your USB mouse.
Check the logs in sys-usb and dom0 terminals.
Specifically anything related to qubes-input-sender.
sys-usb:

Can you post the full log?
Maybe there is something wrong with your debian-12 template during Qubes in-place upgrade. I’d try to install the fresh debian-12 template from the repository using Qubes Template Manager and try to use it for sys-usb.
The debian-12 template needed to be upgraded yes. After rebooting it
though, the USB mouse still isn’t working.
I’m talking about installing the default template from the Qubes OS repository without your changes in it, not just updating your existing debian-12 template.
Maybe there was an error somewhere during your existing debian-12 template in-place upgrade and that’s why it’s not working.
reinstall the debian-12 template from qubes-templates-itl?
Yes.
You can clone your existing debian-12 template to save it and then reinstall it.
this is best done via the template manager?
Yes.
This doesn’t seem to have worked.
Currently the USB device is detected and is listed as sys-usb: 3-1.2
I’m not sure what sys-usb: 3-1.2 actually is, that isn’t clear.
If you try to attach the mouse to the sys-usb VM, it returns an error message:
QubesException: Device Attach Failed.
You’re trying to attach the USB device from sys-usb to sys-usb, that won’t work and there is no point in doing this.
Can you post the sys-usb log?
Just these messages about qubes-input-sender-mouse service failing are not helpful, there should be more relevant information about other errors that are causing this service to fail:

Can you upload it as a file?
You can get the sys-usb log with this command in sys-usb terminal:
sudo journalctl -b > journalctl.log
journalctl.log (106.0 KB)
There is some error with the qrexec policy in dom0, but I don’t know what’s the problem based on just this part of log.
Can you upload the dom0 log for the current boot?
sudo journalctl -b > journalctl.log
