This is a shit article.

Helium leak is in the trunk. They jettison that on return, so only way to debug is to stay at the station for a few a days. Well within parameters.

They are cleared to depart if an emergency.

No doubt, the statements involving timelines are confusingly presented. Departure has been delayed 3 times due to the helium leak testing, earliest they will leave is on June 26th and I think the dock can support the capsule there for 45 days or until July 28th.
