Butterfluent already knows Opera should often move into transcript-first mode. The remaining issue is how that moment feels.
Right now the product can still read like something broke, when really it is switching to the supported path. The learner needs immediate explanation plus the next action spelled out clearly.
This is half bug, half UX debt, but it is worth tracking because it shapes whether Opera users trust the app at all.
Butterfluent response
Closed here as part of the broader Opera fallback work. We are keeping the implementation discussion on the request thread so product and messaging changes stay together.
