Assuming 90 percent of miners don't signal for it in one of the Speedy Trial windows then the activation attempt will have failed and it will be back in Jeremy's court whether he tries again with a different activation attempt.

Assuming 90 percent of miners do signal for it (unlikely in my opinion but presumably still a possibility) then the CTV soft fork could activate unless full nodes resist it.

This is wrong. Miners do not have the mandate to decide the faith of softforks. The MO of softforks is that once a softfork has been merged, it already has consensus and must be activated by miners eventually. The various activation methods exist to ensure miners cannot sabotage a softfork that has consensus.

The way you phrase it, makes it sound like miners have any say over softforks. This is not the case.
