Per the FLA Today livestream, the arm has retracted at roughly 8:18 UTC.

Definitely not the full range of motion for the arm, but presumably far enough to be safe.

It did look pretty fast, to my eyes. The movement didn't last for more than a few seconds.

We'll be checking. We've had no such word of an issue yet.

Will have been just additional reviews due to the vastly important nature of this mission. Certainly didn't hear of any serious issues so glad that was confirmed.
