> once you’ve taken your picture, you need to: 1) remove remaining silver halide that wasn’t exposed to light, 2) “fix” the remaining silver so it’s stable

Isn't that somewhat backwards? The developer converts exposed grains to metalic silver to create a visible image from the latent one, the stop bath neutralizes the developing solution, and finally the fixer dissolves unexposed silver halide.
