If the Stocker and the inventory it's accessing are in different chunks and the latter chunk is not loaded, what happens? My understanding is that it's treated like there's nothing present, and the Stocker would incorrectly decide that its snapshot was invalid if a redstone signal was applied under those conditions.
Requires testing for verification, and probably a workaround involving a server-side "is target's chunk loaded" test performed before any operations involving the target, the snapshot, or its validity, and ensuring that such operations are not attempted while the chunk is not loaded to avoid improper behavior.
