I’m a novice and had something similar happen to me on track where my pedal was soft after a few laps, I slowed down a bit after the soft pedal and the firm pedal came back quickly.never went to the floor. I definitely overbraked and dragged the brakes in my case (working on that and will be hard and fast going forward).
It wasn't pad fade. Pad fade is as you described. Soft pedal does not automatically mean boiled fluid. But boiling will be another level of soft, like pedal with zero firmness or response. It probably was hot compressibility. This is a real trait and SRF has it more than some other fluids.
