How to troubleshoot LACP flapping interface triggered by layer 3 IP Address. (Juniper)

We have been facing issues on our ae0 interface, connecting both the (Router/Firewall) and our (ToR Switch). Based on our logs, LACP starts to flap when we add a new Layer-3 IP Address device on any of the (ToR Switch) access ports, but only for VLAN 10.

Is worth noting that the issue is resolved quicker if I unplugged the causing device from the (ToR Switch), otherwise the issue will be resolved, by itself, after a couple of minutes once the incident has started.

As mentioned above, this issue can only be replicated if a device, connected to any access port on the (ToR Switch), gets an IP Address either through DHCP or Manually for VLAN 10, leading to an entire network outage as people cannot reach the router. For any other VLAN, this issue does not occur. Furthermore, if a device is connected to any (Access Switch) port and obtains an IP Address for VLAN 10, nothing will be triggered, and no problem occurs.

What Have I Done So Far?

I have already tried manually removing (unplugging) both interfaces ge-0/0/4 and ge-0/0/5 on the (Router/firewall), to minimize any network loops, yet the problem persists.
I tried updating all of our Juniper Devices to the latest version as of the time of writing: (22.4R1).
I have also cleared the MAC Address table from all (Access Switches), as well as ARP on the (Router/Firewall).
I tried rebooting our (Router/Firewall), as well as, all Switches; yet the issue persists.

My Questions are:

Why does my ae0 link (LACP) go down when a layer-3 device gets an IP Address only when that device is connected to any (ToR Switch) access port (rstp edge).
How can I tell if this is a layer-3 issue or a layer-2 issue?
Why does the issue only occur on the ToR Switch?
What else can I do to help troubleshoot this issue?
