I believe @Jamie Hall might be referring to the fill valve 1/8 flexible tube filling into the flush valve overflow tube. It was dislodged. That's what I got from his comment.
I have had all of what I have posted above that are more common place. Those things are first.
I have also had the kid not closing the shower door or shower curtain. The adjacent shower valve leaking. Cracks in the fixture. Cracks in an adjacent fixture. A person in the house spilling water and roof leaks tracking water to this type of location. ROOF LEAKS !!

the stack usually goes through the roof near the bathroom so the stack flashing is a common source of leaks in a bathroom

In my 1/2 bath I had an Eljer "Emblem" WC. The one's with the squarish front.
Wet under the bowl, changed the wax and still wet.
There was a silicone caulk plug in a hole that was necessary apparently for the casting of the bowl.
I re-caulked the opening and was good for 2-3 years.
The Eljer then went to the curb and was replaced by an American Standard elongated bowl design…….would never get standard shaped bowl again, the extra bucks are worth it for comfort and targeting.😉

That bottom of that loop is dry.
The tissue paper that I placed underside did not register any dripping dents either

This is the shower stall.
But the leak source seems to be closer to the back wall than to the shower valve

This is the basement level, so not roof leak

roof leaks can make it to the basement. i'm not saying that is what it is but it certainly is possible, especially if there is a pipe in a chase from the roof for it to follow.

I suggest stop using the shower for a week.
I also recommend putting some dye in the toilet tank before every flush.

Is the shower in regular use or just idle? If it's in use, avoid using it for a while like @MikeL_2 suggests and see if the water dries up
It would also be worth popping the shower handle escutcheon off and seeing if you can see any visible leaks from the shower handle body

It is vacant for months. Shower and toilet both are in idle. Water is shut off at the meter.
The shower water supply and valve is not particularly close to the water stain. This has left me confused.
