Research direction

The report names no files, tests, logs, or entry points and provides no usable reproduction beyond Nextcloud 19.0.4 producing phantom activity reports. Start by reproducing the reports and collecting the missing server, client, and Nextcloud logs; done means activity messages accurately correspond to actual file actions.
