Subprong-
I assume you cannot offer a pic of thew wire group.
Can you describe a count, color, and size of the wireds
that were ~"3" long (???) and left over from the repair..."
As said, there can be many confusing issues.
The age of your house? Wiring updates MIGHT be
noted on a permanent approval stapled by your
electric meter, if they were v encompassing.
A case that comes to mind is old tube and post,
which was no longer approved after about 1975.
With it and poor later-date work, (read, incorrect,)
sometimes a guy will err, and splice, making a
daisy-chain effect. This can make it seem to be
~"affecting other circuits" if the connection becomes
corroded over time or loose due to other stresses.
I have seen PG&E join a line at a telephone pole,
that became loose decades later, and the repair
fail 24 hrs later. As there will be 2 pwr lines and a
neutral, one pwr "leg" will affect 1/2 of the house's
circuits, and partially, elec stoves.
