Stable orbit...but not the one they were shooting for. Not a failure, but not a big vote of confidence either.

If they don’t fix it fast it’ll re-enter and might be in abort mode. If so, look for at least one more test launch needed and SpaceX likely leading if their abort launch goes well in a few weeks.

If it did not achieve the planned orbit, did it not actually fail?

Yes, it failed
