comment Glow sticks on Shabbos
Makeh B'Patish is the hardest melakha to hammer out (pun intended). The gemara describes Rebbi Akiva I believe stting and categorizing all the melakhot and anything without a category got put into makeh b'patish. The simple answer is that it isnt M"Bp (makeh bi patish) because it is the designated use of the item not the creating of the item. It would be like saying that unfolding a pair of glasses is M"Bp or that closing the front door of a house is M"Bp it is normal use. Rav Moshe Feinstein paskens that if you have a shirt with detachable sleaves you can attach the sleeves on shabbat.

comment How exactly was extinguishing used constructively to build the Mishkan/Tabernacle?
this is evident from the mishnah in second chapter of shabbat which says that if you extinguish a candle you have transgressed because it creates pekham ash or coals. It is also described as the process called "hivhuv" they would spin the wicks and then cinge the tip to enable easier lighting (mishna shabbat chapter 2)
