Resolution Note:
The problem is not that you've called Stop (which, as you say, you haven't, and didn't even know existed)
A reminder of the message we are seeing:
"Sub-emitters may not use stop actions. The Stop action will not be executed."
The problem is that you have set a Stop Action on a Sub-Emitter. The message is telling you that this is not allowed.
Clicking on the message highlights the systems at fault. They are called "Crackle" and "Flash". They are sub-emitters of "detonationCrackles" and use the Destroy Stop Action.
Setting Destroy on the parent system is sufficient (which you already have done) it should destroy itself and all its sub-emitters when it's finished.
So just set the Stop Action on those Sub-Emitters back to None and you should be good to go!
