Sight replies and optional compatible connected tools and services require internet access and a working configured service. Connected requests can fail. Owners should distinguish a network problem from the local expression layer instead of assuming the whole product is one online service.
A connection has several dependencies
The app needs suitable network access, credentials need to remain valid, and the connected service must respond. Network restrictions, usage limits, expired access, or service outages can interrupt a request even when a signal icon looks healthy.
Retry only after identifying the boundary
Repeatedly sending the same request can create duplicate writes or usage charges if the original result was delayed rather than lost. Check whether the action reached the service, review activity, and prefer read-only tests. For purchases, messages, or deletion, confirm the external state before retrying.
Offline should not be marketed as connected
Oneira's on-device animated expression can remain a local product layer, but a connected request should never pretend to complete offline. Exact shipping behavior belongs in current setup documentation. Buyers who need a particular offline function should wait for that function to be explicitly documented rather than infer it from the face.
The short version
- Connected requests depend on app, network, and service availability.
- Check external state before retrying a consequential action.
- Do not infer offline AI capability from on-device animation.
