🐞 Text Chat Mode Broken in Latest Version

Description

The latest version of the code is not working correctly in text (chat) mode.

When using the chat input:

• I can type text into the input field
• After submitting, I receive a voice response
• My submitted text does not appear in the chat area
• The assistant’s text response is also missing from the chat history

As a result, the chat UI appears empty even though the interaction occurs.

---

Expected Behavior

• User-submitted text should appear in the chat area
• Assistant text responses should be displayed (in addition to any voice output)

---

Actual Behavior

• Only a voice response is produced
• No user or assistant messages are rendered in the chat UI

---

Regression

• This worked correctly in the version I was using on Nov 8
• The issue appears to be a regression introduced by recent changes

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Switch to text/chat mode
2. Type a message in the input field
3. Submit the message
4. Observe that no text appears in the chat area

---

Additional Notes

• Voice output still works
• This significantly affects usability of text-based chat

The messages are there, they are just set to opacity of 0 initially and the animate to visible isn't triggered by Motion. You can fix this by modifying the MESSAGE_MOTION_PROPS in chat-transcript.tsx

const MESSAGE_MOTION_PROPS = {
  variants: {
    hidden: {
      opacity: 0,
      translateY: 10,
    },
    visible: {
      opacity: 1,
      translateY: 0,
    },
  },
  initial: 'hidden',
  animate: 'visible',
  exit: 'hidden',
  transition: {
    duration: 0.25,
    ease: 'easeOut',
  },
}
