- **Dendrite version or git SHA**: 0.13.0+
- **SQLite3 or Postgres?**: Postgres

- **Client used (if applicable)**: Element Android App

### Description

- **What** is the problem: since Dendrite-monolith 0.13.0 a login with Element Android is not possible
- **Who** is affected: as far as I can tell, everyone using dendrite 0.13.0 onwards and Element Android
- **How** is this bug manifesting: "unrecognized request" message below the custom server URL input field.
- **When** did this first appear: Dendrite-monolith 0.13.0

### Steps to reproduce

- install / upgrade to dendrite-monolith inside docker 0.13.0 or later
- input matrix domain of dendrite-monolith in Element Android App
- error "unrecognized request" will be shown below the input

There is nothing in the container logs regarding the client error.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce with Dendrite-monolith 0.13.0+ in Docker, PostgreSQL, and Element Android using the listed server-domain steps, then inspect the request handling and container behavior around the unrecognized-request response. Done means Element Android accepts the custom server URL and login succeeds without the error.
