does the ON/OFF Button work while a program is running with the standard
firmware? Or do you need to press RUN to stop it first?

The on/off button is always operational. It makes a great NO! STOP THAT!
button when your robot is tearing itself apart accidentally. :)

And I always thought people would strike at the red button
instinctively. Well, it's the green one. legOS will behave likewise,
then - ON/OFF will work even if tasks are running.
