How did the extended ISS stay for Wilmore and Williams contrast with standard capsule return procedures?

The return capsule was typically ready shortly after crew transfer, unlike this instance where the vehicle needed analysis.

In typical operational scenarios following a successful crew transfer to the ISS, the return capsule is usually made ready to transport the crew back to Earth relatively quickly. However, in this specific CFT scenario, the return timeline for the astronauts was intentionally decoupled from the return timeline for the Starliner capsule. The vehicle became the subject of extended post-flight analysis while still docked, which meant the astronauts had to remain on the ISS longer than planned, contrasting sharply with the expectation that the return capsule would be prepared for immediate crew occupancy after the crew transfer.
