ABP and Mage Armor / Bracers

Do the AC bonuses of Mage Armor and Bracers of Armor function while using Automatic Bonus Progression? (I know the save bonus wouldn't)

It seems to me like it might be unbalancing in favor of high DEX casters and the like, since they receive the bonus to AC from ABP. However, Mage Armor and the Bracers also limit DEX-to-AC in the same way base armors do. So I'm unsure if they are supposed to replace the rune effects for AC (in which case they stop functioning) or if they are supposed to apply like baseline armors and explorer's clothing.

I don't want to take these tools away from my players without due diligence.
How long does the Confusion spell success effect of "babble incoherently" last?

The success effect against the save of Confusion states that "The target babbles incoherently and is stunned 1." And the spell has a duration of 1 minute.

Does the babbling last only 1 action as the stunned condition goes away? Or does it last a minute and shut down caster verbal components for a full minute?
Feral Hunter Archetype - Feral Focus

I apologize if there is an FAQ for this, but I couldn't find one and previous threads couldn't reach consensus and further confused me.

Feral Focus:
At 1st level, a feral hunter gains a limited ability to change her shape into hybrid animal forms. This functions as the animal focus class feature, except that the hunter always applies the animal aspect to herself, and there is no limit to this ability’s duration. She can end this ability as a free action.

When a feral hunter uses this ability, her body takes on cosmetic aspects of an animal, such as furry skin, longer nails, elongated teeth, and oddly colored eyes; these changes do not grant her any abilities other than what is stated in the animal focus, and end when she takes on a different aspect or ends the ability. This physical change is a polymorph effect, though the effects of the animal focus are not.

This ability alters animal focus and replaces the hunter tactics and speak with master class abilities.

My main confusion stems from the fact that it uses the word 'alters' instead of 'replaces' for animal focus.

With Feral Focus, do I have both a permanent and a per-minute ability? Or just a permanent and no per-minute ability?

And as an extension, with Second Focus, would I have two permanent foci, two permanent and two per-minute foci, or one permanent and two per-minute foci?

Thanks for any help!
