The bug
The door-opening mechanism in Ancient City center 3 is broken. When the Sculk sensor is activated, the doors briefly close and immediately open. This is caused by a misplaced piece of Redstone Dust, as seen in picture.

Another interesting thing is that city_center_3 is the only center in which the door is open by default; the other two centers have their doors closed.
After the dust is moved to repair the circuit, the door in this city center functions differently than the doors in the other two city centers. This door alternates between open and closed each time the sculk sensor is activated. The doors in the other city centers open when the sculk sensor is activated and then close automatically after some time.
It seems plausible that the dust might be intentionally misplaced to encourage the player to repair it themself, but this report should be left open so that we can get an official statement from Mojang about whether this is intentional.
