"not even a flutter this time, just a brief, sharp metal click mid-hood when turning key."

That's a different symptom than the one you described previously. That would indicate a starter problem.

Previously you stated, "The starter strong. The car seems to want to turn over, but it reminds me of trying to strike a damp match. Or of dry, inefficient coughing.", "when I next tried starting the car the muffler blew up." etc. leading me to believe that the starter was doing its job but there was poor ignition.

Either way, check your grounds to the block and, as Amarin suggests, the positive connection to the starter.
