Continuous basic stirrup

While editing the Continuous foundation static outputs of the Project I modeled, I noticed that the stirrups of the continuous foundation do not continue where the basement (picture 2) and columns (picture 1) are located. -Is this a problem ? -Even if there is no problem, will there not be weakness in these areas? -If this is a problem, what are the solutions? Thanks.
 
Normally, in the beam-column junction areas, the beam stirrup does not continue in the junction area; I attribute this to the fact that the column is stronger (or ductile) in this region, and if a plastic hinge is to be formed, it is desired that it be formed in the beam, not the column. However, I don't know if the same logic can be applied for continuous foundation beams. Maybe it would contribute to the punching strength of the column..? It can also be viewed from this perspective: Imagine that you are making a raft foundation, there is no stirrup before and after the column. If that's not a problem, this isn't either.
