imgur.comLooks more like a yellow sac spider to me

That’s possible, the darkening on the foot tips looks similar, but the spider I found has much thicker chelicerae (mandibles) than the yellow sac spider.

It appears to be an adolescent Brown Recluse, but they aren’t usually found in Southern California but it’s not impossible for one to get here.

No - far out of range, has eight eyes, eyes aren't this specific arrangement, legs have banding, first leg is far longer than the second (vs quite close in size).
I agree with Cheiracanthium. The Loxosceles you should expect to find in California are outdoorsy and have a limited range.
