The setup guide implies that the USB Wi-Fi dongle will be wlan1 while the built-in interface wlan0 cannot be used:

The current setup assumes you'll be using a Raspberry Pi Model 4b with an mt76 based wireless adapter (wlan1).

Note that the built-in Raspberry PI Wireless card can not be used as an AP by default as it does not support AP/VLAN, which is a feature that SPR relies on.

However only wlan0 appears in the UI and therefore I had to proceed with setup with that interface.

I rebooted (and reseated the USB stick, which seemed to be pretty secure already) and got wlan1.

looks like this is new in karmic. will look at assigning since it seems newer kernels might enumerate usb first
