One (hopefully) final note... I tried bringing up dev tools in the debug menu (to see console errors), but nothing opens when I select Debug→Show Developer Tools. Same for keyboard shortcut. Tried restarting, but Brackets won't quit normally. Takes a force quit to kill it. The app is responsive, but ⌘Q does nothing.

JTO (@Justin-Turner-Overdrive), what is the file extension of your HTML doc? Brackets only recognizes "htm", "html", and "xhtml" as static HTML files.

It's .html
I also tested an older project, same results.

Html file is in working set
File needs to be in project tree, so make sure File > Open Folder selects folder that contains all of your project files.
Not sure what else it could be. Did you try File > Enable Experimental Live Preview ? That will open in page in your default browser, and then you can copy/paste url to any other browser and see edits in multiple browsers at once.

html and css are both in the project tree, both in working set on a horizontal split. I included a video in my first post that shows the folder hierarchy... pretty standard stuff— html in root of project folder, css and images and js in their own folders.
I've tried both experimental (which chrome and safari), and regular (chrome obvs), no differences in behavior.
I suppose I'll try a fresh install. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't something obvious, since I'm fairly new to web dev.

I figured this out, and it was my own fault.
Like I said, I'm new... and have been doing all my studying in CodePen for the past year. So I got in the habit of not typing <html></html> elements. Somehow Chrome was still displaying my local projects just fine without them, so I never noticed.
Adding the elements to all my projects fixed this issue.

I'm experiencing this same problem. But I do have html included... So I don't think it could be that.
I'm extremely new to this, it's only the second project I've tried to build.

For everyone, this problem can be resolved by following steps:-
On menu bar, go to File --> Open Folder (folder which have your html file for live preview)
Select Folder
Select your html file from left side bar for live preview
Click on bolt icon on right (preview button)
All it melts down to the fact, that you need that folder(which have your file) selected to view your output in live preview. Let me know, if it helps someone. :)
Went through your troubleshooting guide. Html file is in working set. There are no syntax errors in code. CSS live is working perfectly. Reload without extension makes no difference. Restarting brackets and chrome makes no difference. Tried a different project, same results. Not running my own server, just stock live preview setup for projects living on my desktop.
Brackets Release 1.7 build 1.7.0-16898 (release-b0a363b71) (up to date) Chrome Version 51.0.2704.106 (64-bit) (up to date)

The above video show me editing the same element in both CSS and HTML. In CSS I change the width, which works. In HTML, I delete a section of text inside that element without upsetting any tags, which doesn't work.
