In the setup shown in the screenshot, copper golems will open both the copper chest, and the transfer chest to the left for a undetermined and seemingly random period of time. The copper golem will suddenly stop trying to open either chest, as though its pathfinding stopped. The copper golem will just freeze in place. if you break the top slab above the chests, the golem will start back up again. This also happens with trap doors, did not test other blocks that can be put above the chest but still allow it to open.
To replicate
1. Setup a copper chest and normal chest with a 1 block gap, setup a small hallway for the golem to walk down, and put a top slab above the chests
2. Fill the copper chest up, and watch the golem transfer items
3. After a period of time, the golem will stop in place, until you break the top slab over the chest it looks like it was trying to get to.

I made another bug report while this one was closed. MCPE-231464
Punching the copper golem or hitting with a snowball (egg or enderpearl probably work as well) will make it work again. I made a video too:

This issue has the same cause as (MCPE-223948), only the specific circumstances in which it occurs have changed. The golem gets stuck in a position where it is too close to the block next to the chest to be able to pathfind toward that block, but also too far from the chest to interact with the chest.
V26.21 The problem still exists; the golem gets stuck staring at the copper chest. It can only be solved by hitting the golem. Should we torture them continuously?

I have observed the moment when the bug happened. The golem after open copper chest and found no item then enter idle state. In idle state copper golem can wander around and try to reopen the copper chest after amount of time. Occasionally these two events can happen together. The golem in idle state wander away from copper chest and try to open it at the same time. Instead of recalculate the path, copper golem stuck at the same spot as it was leaving, thinking the chest is still in reach.
Copper golem try to interact with the chest while he moving away from it. It stoped as it thought it is in range to interact with the chest and try to open again and again with no avail.
My temporaries solution was to use doors. Since copper golem can open and close them after. Everytime they try to reach their copper chest, they will open the door and close right after it has passed. The door will snap golem’s position to either side of the door as it closed. So that the golem either too far or just in reach of the chest.
Or use a comparator to read from copper chest and lock access of golem to it whenever it’s empty. So the event of copper golem stuck between idle and working won’t happen
