Did the umbilical to the fairing detach properly? It looked like some of it was still hanging off the rocket as it cleared the tower.

Now throttling.

GW: there's an umbilical mast that sticks out the bottom of the fairing, it stays attached to the vehicle. Seen it on multiple other launches too.

Congratulations, you could work for S&MA.  They thought the same thing on AV-10.  It's the Centaur version of the GUCP.  The simpler mechanism I talked about before.  It's the GH2 vent fin.  It continues to vent during ascent as well.
