The other "strategic" enhancements are G24, which adds a disable for the offending robot on top of the red card, and G30, which applies the card to the entire alliance.)

Given that 399 reached over the step, made contact with the can beyond the step, and pulled the can back to their side, on more than one occasion, I would definitely call that Strategic. Then the question becomes, was it a violation? As written (but not as clarified), it's an open question, hence the Q&A. The container was over the step (partially), but contact was initiated beyond the step. YMTC.
