Drive belt looks to be in good shape to me.
When opening the case I didn't find any loose shredded pieces or anything like that. Spinning both front and rear pulleys by hand, I checked the length of the belt and found no abnormalities.
I attached a picture of the belt , which looks fine to me.
and here are a couple videos showing both pulleys under full throttle and idle

to me it looks like the rear pulley moves the belt and closes together under full throttle
the front pulley looks like it moves the belt all the way to the outside under full throttle and back in when idle...I did the sharpie trick and everything is wiped clean except maybe the most outer half cm
So my take on this is everything appears to be functioning properly and I'll have to wait til tomorrow to check rollers and if that is ok then check the valves I guess
I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone's help
