*Trump has the power to declassify
*The procedure isn't clear, but the President determines the procedure.


Umm, no. You completely ignore the fact that he issued no EO or other informal directive. And that there's no evidence of "some externally verifiable indicia that the President has actually acted. That the status of the documents that have previously been classified has now been changed - that someone has received some instruction from the President that the classification has been lifted."

And again, the classification status is immaterial to his other legal jeopardy. Trump is not in trouble because of his non-compliance with NARA but from his other potentially criminal acts.
