I initially turned off the main valve then opened the stove valves to
drain the lines. Closed the stove valves and let it sit overnight before
doing this test.

No wait - maybe I opened the main valve once while trying to
troubleshoot the leak.

Back to the drawing board! The test needs to be done again!
