TL:DR: The slug of the home page and a folder at the root had the same name
There was a folder that I was using for home page assets, the address was “example.net/home/” and the original WP development was “example.net/wordpress/”. When I moved the wordpress files out to the root, the home page had a slug of “home” that now conflicted with that “example.net/home” folder. To fix this, in the Reading Options, I changed the home page to show posts. Then I changed the slug of the home page to “home-page”. Then I set the home page to show the static page “home-page” and now everything is working.
