For those concerned about the stability of the rack/fender/light setup, this image does a better job of showing the connections between rack, light, fender, and frame.
Edit: It does look like the delivered bike doesn't have the cover for the light's wire in the below pic, so that piece may not be structural or included in all options.
I’d still be concerned about the rack attachment. Any front-rear forces are only moderated by the attachment to the mudguard. I’d prefer that job to be done with an arm to the frame mounting near the seat tube. I’m sure it’s been tested though. My daughter used to ride with her sister on the carrier when going to the shops. I’m not sure this would suffice for that use case.
