That's contradictory and not how it will work. And anyway, if you have no comms how does FMS disabling do any good. You have no comms.
No, we will continue to have the designed behavior that the robot will override (locally) the enable signal when a situation deems it (no comms and brown out) and the DS and FMS should only use that as status for humans (if they even have comms to receive that status).
The FMS broke this year and it will be fixed.
