When fixed to Stage 1 during ascent, Andromeda’s thrusters are positioned outboard of the Stage 1 outer diameter. This allows Andromeda to ignite while still attached to the first stage without causing damage to the base of Stage 2, and without the need for a heavy one-time-use interstage shield to protect Stage 1.

No unnecessary gravity losses for Stoke!
Nice dig at the temporary starship hot stage ring situation.
