[Theory] Amanda didn't die to a trap. She committed suicide in hopes of being resurrected as a Guardian.
Her and Devrim consistently complained about how the Guardian could do things they could not, take risks that they couldn't do, and how they wish they could jump into the fray of it.
Amanda's capture may have been unavoidable, but given everything else she went through it makes me feel like that was her first attempt at hope that the Traveler would resurrect her.
Then she had to hold two wires together to help get the prisoners out. An engineer of her magnitude wasn't able to quickly jerry rig a solution together that would allow the wires to stay connected-- she had to hold them?
I don't buy it. It felt like it was such a lazy way to write her off until I considered the other two bits of information. It leads me to a part of the Destiny universe that's very dark: people who put themselves recklessly in danger, in hopes of being resurrected with greater powers.

6 RepliesSuicide in a game - not a good message and it lessens her sacrafice. Amanda and Devrim are not complaining but merely pointing out the grim reality of their own mortality which sets the story's tone. Amanda could come back later as a Guardian or some hybrid Guardian. This season looks like it's her demise but could be just the start of a new Amanda and a new storyline. Whether Bungie realizes or not or has something planned, the relationship theme of her and Crow are really not resolved. Now that we got the last recording, Zavala mentions that if she came back as a Guardian, she wouldn't have any memory of her former life but Zavala would remind her. With the Traveler damaged, maybe a darker or a lost Amanda emerges. The key things we got here for a potential future Amanda story - her relationship with Crow and her relationship with the father figure Zavala. This is speculation but one thing is certain is that Amanda's death seems a bit off.
