Can an ERC-4337 account send an operation without immediately appearing as an Ethereum transaction?

The answer

Yes. A UserOperation is first submitted to an alternative mempool or bundler and may not have a normal chain transaction hash until inclusion.

What to do next

Track the UserOperation hash and bundler receipt, then the outer on-chain transaction once submitted.
