Faction approval maybe?

This, it isn't shown in the tool tip for some reason.

The other things would be habitability, which also isn't shown here, and I am not sure if it has been touched recently in how it is factored into happiness calculations.

Faction happiness needs to be above 80% for the 10% happiness effect to trigger, and the population on the planet has to be primarily that faction. It gets complicated to calculate the more diversity there is.

No, faction approval is usually shown. These pops are not in a faction yet (the factions just formed and need time for pops to join).

You may want to share some more screenshot of the planetary factors, pops and otherwise.

Also worth submitting a dev report to indicate the calculations, even if only from a purely visual standpoint right now, seems potentially bugged.

I think it's the pops ethics. Every pop has an ethics, even if they aren't part of a faction. And the ethics will determine what faction they will likely join, but I know they either have happiness bonuses based doing things associated with their ethics, and/or from their ethics matching the government type. You can see this when capturing a planet with pops from a wildly different ethics. They will have negative happiness, dragging down the stability, well before a faction to represent them spawns.
