I was also happy to hear that you double check edges evenness after the sharpening (directly from the blade). Even your squareness check in the skate holder would include some deviations, you will notice it later. Only problem is that you might need to grind skates several times before edges are perfectly level.
What comes to the scratches and other damages on the aluminum chassis, doesn't them exist also when you remove skate from the holder? Or is the trick that you use stanchions when skate in not in the skate holder?
I would recommend to use same type in square than what I use. "The magic" in my square is knife edge. It does not create shadows like your, which ruler part is probably ~1mm thick. Thinner the contact area is, easier to see the light leak. You can demonstrate by putting you square rules flat part against the blade stanchion. See how much you see light leak. After this start to tilting you ruler until only the ruler edge contacts (45 degrees). My assumption is that first stanchion looks 100% straight but, when only the corner contacts you start to see some light leak. This is the reason why knife edge rulers are used in the quality controls.
In the normal Gold Seals I use stanchions to verify edges evenness. In the beginning the problem was that stanchions were covered by skate holder which did mean that I need to take skate out from the skate holder to be able to measure edges evenness. When you put skate back to holder, it will never position similarly as last time.
