Happened to me on a BMC, same issue.

I have professional, calibrated and fucking expensive torque wrenches, but I'm not willing to apply the advised Nm on delicate points like same clam, seatpost clamp and steerer any longer.

Torque the same clamp by hand and don't use force, you'll here it while riding on car it's too loose
Check shortlistings for a SL8 seatpost, a lot of people are seeking them cause they install a Darimo

Man, bad luck.
I'd try tantan. IDK whether an actual Specialized post fits, but guess is it does. They're on a number of sites like ebay and FBM as folks buy zero offset or Darimo. Or Hylix is well thought of.

As to other question about lower race, a ton of bikes these days use races molded into the fork.

The SPcycle R088 uses the same SL8 seat post. Now I regret not buying a spare when they were $65 USD on AliExpress. Now prices have shot up for US customers. Now I have to be extra careful.  :-[
