What part of the NW are you in?
x2 on step 4. From the original description it sounds like maybe the switch is on the light fixture itself? If that’s the case, the black wires may have been all wired to the same mushroom connector, intentionally bypassing the switch there and there’s another some place else.

The switch is part of the light fixture. When the fixture fell, the switch fell apart and a little plastic tab broke, so while I can put it back together it's not easy. Once it's together it seems to hold. I might just have to buy a new fixture to get a new switch. But right now I'm trying to figure out my wiring. I don't see any other switch on the fixture or in the wiring.
