Starship didn't do re-entry though right? They lost signal, and what happened after that was not explained. It was at the target height and >24,000km/h when it lost signal. Some coverage suggested SECO happened, they they lost signal.

At the conclusion of the SpaceX stream they confirmed the automated launch abort system triggered with vehicle lost. But so much data gained!

I believe it was automatic based on a potential course deviation that brought it dangerously close to Hawaii?

Well... that'll teach them pesky nav-bots to threaten populated areas.

SECO = Second stage Engine CutOff.
