They are strange things.
Is the bark green?
Bark is grey, always has been grey for me.
Should I do a fingernail scratch to check if green underneath?
Sorry I meant scratch test

It was brown
...
The wood on the inside was white, but the cambium and phloem layer were definitely brown.
Guess it's dead? Probably repotted too early or let it dry out too much.

What kind of mix is it in? I’ve noted that at least in my climate they like smaller particles and prefer being on the wetter side. My stuff is small - maybe treeman can weigh in?

Pumice pine and scoria.
There was a period where I neglected to water this plant. I thought they were more dry tolerant through the winter. At least I listened a valuable lesson.
Luckily enough, I dug under the soil today and there's a little sucker growing from the roots with tiny swelling buds.
If it survives I'll name it Phoenix.
