So, is this “I’m just being stubborn” silence, or, “I’m seeing if I have enough allies in the police and military to trigger a coup” silence?

That depends. If he doesn't have the military's support, the former. If he does have the military's support, then it's the latter.

No one knows. What one actually knows is that the heads of the other powers -- congress, senate, justice branch etc, including his allies, were very quick to ratify the results and congratulate Lula and the 'free, fair and credible elections'. It was an implicit, but very clear, "we won't help you with any shenanigans, shut up and take the L".

So he'll probably just take the L eventually.
