"That gif image does seem to show Capitol police withdrawing from the barricades, at least, without being forced to."

That is Exactly what that shows, and the people on the ground confimed same. This video is still on Twitter, btw.

Invitation is an absolute defense to [Federal] trespass.

I save copies of all images and videos that support views of events that the oligarchs in the high-tech companies would prefer not prevail.

I agree that no charges are justified against protesters who advanced through the opening in those barricades given up — while not being forced to — by the Capitol police. Persons who used violence to get into the Capitol itself would be liable, though, and probably those who saw it and advanced too. If others came later, saw open doors and no violence, then again I don’t think they should be charged unless they committed other offenses.

What we think is right probably has little to do with what the rulings will be, though, not when outrages — clearly documented on video — such as the killing of Ashli Babbitt have been dismissed as justifiable.
