Is ST supposed to be shorthand for Stack? Or seat tube?

I was referring to Seat Tube

Other bikes to consider that may meet what you are looking for-
https://pelagobicycles.com/stavanger/ - low trail, steel, wide tire fits, disc brake. Stack may be too high compared to reach or seat tube length.
https://www.somafab.com/archives/pro...ble-cross-disc - the 62 size has a longer seat tube, less reach than your Marin, and clearance for 45mm tires. It has QR dropouts, but if you got a 50mm offset fork you would have wide tire bike with trail that is on the lower end of the spectrum(58mm).

Not at all. My OP is a little cryptic, as I have just finished a monster shift a work and I’m not fully online yet.
