Some species of American false wolf spider

Yeah, thought this too. Identified a similair looking spider with an app once.

Big nope vibes.

A harmless bro.

The bite like wolfies? Because I had one hit me like when bee sting when I scared her up.

Yeah, probably. A bee sting is a pretty good comparison for spider bites in general, though with a very low chance of alergic reaction compared to bees or wasps. And that's really where the danger is.

Otherwise it will just hurt for a bit and then go away.

Bees hurt way worse than these IMO. But I'm possibly mildly allergic to bees.

Thanks, that was my assumption as well from some minor googling but wanted to get another pair (or 3) of eyes on it
