Research direction

Reproduce the reported sharing-link failure with a folder shared in a secret circle, then compare it with the same action in a closed circle on Nextcloud 17.0.1. Trace the permission checks involved in creating the link; done means an authorized non-owner can create a sharing link in a secret circle without weakening access controls.
