Tough call on the timer stop, though I'd say it's barely clean. Unlike cube misalignments, we don't have palm misalignments, so when are palms suddenly not "flat on sensors" and "face down" anymore? They're definitely pointing down to some degree, moreso than they are pointing to the sides.
There's also his left index finger, which it's hard to tell if he gets it out of the way. Regardless of this finger, I would say the cube has been fully released, it's just that he might have been incidentally touching the cube. When there's no intention to manipulate the cube, and the touching is just incidental after a timer stop, there has been significant precedent to not apply
A6e -- the intention of this regulation is to prevent competitors from touching a puzzle when misalignment penalties are being enforced.
The only part that I think is really difficult to judge is the "flat on the sensors" part of A6d. But given the nature of the blindfolded event (not seeing the stackmat), I would like to think that there is some leeway in this. However, the board may very well disagree with my take.
