Hmm, seems pretty clear that OrcaSlicer will eventually adapt to use Bambu Connect regardless, which will preserve active cloud connections.

Adapting to Bambu Connect means passing the print files to another app, and it's unclear if that app will work without a cloud account. Plus Orca does lose functionality like controlling the printer directly from the slicer, and one of the critiques of the new system is needing a separate app in the first place.

If you mean that OrcaSlicer will reimplement Bambu Connect protocols inside — I doubt that will happen, since Bambu Connect is not open source, so this would involve reverse engineering the protocols and potentially including Bambu Connect certificates.
