Installation of light fixture
Hi there,
Situation: the twisted white wires are still live, but the switch is off--does anything know what the issue is?
Also, the new light fixture has teal and bare ground wires; should I connect those to the green screw, or attempt to fish out a ground from the box?

You have a switch loop there. Two cables...... one is power in and the other is the switch loop.
You need to turn the breaker off for this circuit while working on it.

Looking again at your wiring...... I see a two wire cable and a three wire cable.
The two black wires should be twisted and capped.
The two white wires should be twisted and capped.
There should be a ground wire coming out of each cable.
They need to get connected together as well as to the box.
Your light should connect to the white splice and the red wire.
