the leading theory so far seems to be the sloshing of the fuel inside the booster on its flip may have caused a liquid hammer affect.
I could believe that
esp. considering the whole reason for hot staging in the 1st place was to try to keep the propellants in 1 spot so they could flow correctly to the engines... the flip might have disturbed that flow
ETA: I'm interested to see why the FTS activated on Starship though
all the call outs seemed to indicate everything was going as planned/hoped... then suddenly it was gone
obviously... by that point on all streams... all you could see of Starship was the light of the 6 engines

the chopsticks have been lowered all the way to the bottom of the OLM and there's clearly some severed cables on at least 1 of the arms
so the OLM did suffer some damage... though it seems at this point like it's all minor compared to what happened with the 1st test flight
