Research direction
Start by tracing SFTP directory deletion in the release/3.6 codebase and checking how sshj exposes directory removal, comparing it with UNIX rmdir behavior. Verify the result on the Pixel 2 emulator running stock Android 11; done means non-empty SFTP directories can be deleted as intended.
