I've seen from several sources that SpaceX has apparently junked all

Why didn't they just mothball the composite tools?

See my other post. No plans to use the tooling and storage costs are
non-zero. The entire Port of L.A. loction they were renting is being
abandoned. Starship and Super Booster will be built at Boca Chica and
KSC.
