Well we already have some of that implemented in the "bauer-code" already. If the device came out of saturation isnt that almost the opposite of falling short circuit? ie the load is so large (short) that it cant get into a fully conducting state? Not a big deal in any event. I would like to look at a brake input sometime. I'll implement the hardware as i have the controller on the bench. Would be a neat feature and would eliminate the stuck acccelerator / failed potbox issue.

If brake signal high then ignore throttle and command pwm to zero. Check current. If more than 10amps open contactor.
