Fillet operation starts when using pull?
The issue you're facing is due to "Selection Priority" in the Select drop-down menu.
As you have the "Select Face Priority" active, when you select before activating the tool, the selection will choose faces over edges, but that whole concept changes if the tool is activated first, as each tool has different types of selections to it's dialog box, and from what your facing, I assume that the Press Pull tool has it's own priority to Edges first, therefore, the command becomes a Fillet.

Deselected outside faces and all curved surfaces to ensure only inside slots were selected; however, you are right; I changed one of the THICKNESS parameters from 10 mm to 5 mm, and all the inner slot faces were deselected. My current workaround is to create a sketch on the outer side of the "side panel", project everything and go through the painstakingly long process of offsetting all the inner slots by "-0.4", then select all these small -0.4 offsets to extrude and manually create the tolerances.
This creates a width of 10.8 mm, and when the THICKNESS parameter is changed to 5 mm, the slot width is now 5.8 mm. This proves that it is parametrically acceptable; however, I forgot that 0.4 + 0.4 is 0.8, so I just need to go back and change the offset value to 0.2 mm so that I get 10.4 and 5.4 mm widths. I don't think it's worth making a parameter for offset tolerance, as it's just always 0.2 mm, not something that needs to be changed.
Thanks for pointing out my error
It did indeed help a lot...

P.S
So glad parameters exist; it makes life so much easier than selecting each dimension on the sketch.
