Kind of calls into question the rest of the control hardware and software. What if the environmental controls just “go off” and vents or over pressurizes, or excessively heats or cools, or raises or lowers Oxygen... Ditto power. Before I touched anything I’d want proof positive there was a physical break in the circuit - just in case the control system decided to re-energize it in the middle of my task.

No kidding. It’s like having one side of you car’s brakes seizing up on the highway. Stuff shouldn’t just “happen.”
