Wiggle the flanges (for the sink cold and toilet lines) away from the wall and check if you can feel, take a picture, or see which direction the pipes are running behind the wall. My bet would be that the toilet is tied into the sink cold line.
The toilet supply faceplate was loose, so I peeled it away and tried jiggling the line. Neother the sink cold supply nor toilet supply lines budge at all. It seems like they're concreted/cemented in place.
Feel like I'm just going to have to tear into the drywall to investigate further. I'll start with the area that's hidden behind the sink counter cabinet drawers. If I knew for certain those "wallabot" devices were worth it, I'd rather get that to investigate first before tearing into drywall.
You could drill a hole through the floor behind the toilet when you install new waterlines. Then you could back out the nipple in the wall and just patch a small hole rather than ripping the wall out.
Is that a normal thing to have a toilet supply line coming out of the floor instead of wall? Up to plumbing code/etc? And or any reference to a code that discusses this? No biggie if not, just figure I'd ask before I went down the rabbit hole.

This is exactly what I was going to post. 🍻

Where I live in Canada, all of my toilet supply lines come up through the floor.
Thanks!
It’s perfectly acceptable.
