Research direction

Start with the supplied ggplotly() reproduction and follow the geom2trace.default() warning for geom_GeomFitText(). Compare how related ggplot geoms are converted, then verify that this component renders correctly through ggplotly() without the unsupported-geom warning.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
