Since running Disk First Aid at that point found no errors on the internal SSD, I thought I would try to reinstall Mojave from the SSD, but when I did so, the installer refused, informing me that my Mac had an incompatible firmware version and suggesting that I try to install Mojave on a HFS+ disk! (alas, my MBP's flash drive is formatted as APFS encrypted). However, it turns out that my MBP runs fine from a bootable external backup SSD over USB. Trying to reboot into recovery mode put me in the same internet recovery cycle When it was returned to me, it had a big new problem: it would keep booting into internet recovery mode (although it eventually did boot), but eventually ended up freezing while I was using it. I had a lot of parts (battery, display, logic board) of my MBP mid-2015 replaced at the local Apple Store.
