This is a debated number, with people telling that they don't count anything, but actual "stall" when the system stands still and can't do anything, as disengagement.

And accounts of stalled Waymos in the middle of the road are too frequent to believe them

Disengagement is whenever the human test driver has to intervene. The car stalling in the middle of the road would only be counted as a disengagement if it doesn't recover on its own.
