> Never having used one of these before, is there anything (ideally conveniently built in) that you can use to know before you cut a particular material whether it'll trigger the stop?
You use a $40 “wood moisture meter” to check the water content of the lumber before cutting. If you want a built-in one I suppose you could duct tape it to your saw.

What about some suggestions offered in good faith?
That is how you measure the moisture content of wood, with a wood moisture meter. There’s no reason for a handheld $40 tool (that any serious woodworker will already have on hand, and one that will likely fail at some point) to be built in to a multiple thousand dollar table saw.
