The story was edited.

(Note: at 6 pm ET on Wednesday, the FAA issued the following statement).

"The SpaceX Starship mishap investigation remains open," the agency stated. "The FAA will not authorize another Starship launch until SpaceX implements the corrective actions identified during the mishap investigation and demonstrates compliance with all the regulatory requirements of the license modification process."

that is a pretty deliberately broad statement. the obvious mitigations are all in place, like the water deluge system and the new self destruct. There may be plenty of other, smaller issues though.
