"Star is unstable and could collapse at any time"
"Star is prone to violent eruptions and has an unstable core"
Interesting. Would the former indicates that the star would blow within 3 years, while the
later means it will not happen within the next 3 years?
No, I think both of those descriptors mean the star is a candidate to blow at some undefined point. AFAIK, a star without one of those two warnings will never blow without some technological "help".
The Event Log entry warning that the star will blow is always three years beforehand. Single planets with core instabilities blow in one year, and the firestorm warning gives you three months to evacuate.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
