This was one of five connected detectors, thus the red wire.
The installer missed the instructions you mention:

The stripping part was missed.

Thus, this was effectively a single station alarm where a interconnected alarm was required by code.

Thus however, by the photo, is clearly a multi-station situation (conjunction junction what’s your function?).

Needs adjustment:

Hot tub power cord, photo taken just after removal from service.
For the record that appears to be a 120V 20A plug used for 220V 30A service.
