What I found curious after watching Scott Manley's video on the IFT3 flight was his observation from the Starship's cargo-bay cameras showing that it wasn't fully vented (You could see wisps of vapour wafting around in it) after it had reached sub-orbital insertion. I would've thought that the SpaceX engineers would've ensured that it was fully vented by the time of orbital insertion, not being fully vented may help explain why it had trouble with its' "Pez dispenser" door. Imagine that there will much less time between the flights of IFT3 and IFT4 with most of the test-flight's goals being achieved.
