### Bug description

Euro-Office Desktop starts successfully on Fedora 44 and I can connect to my Nextcloud instance.
Authentication succeeds and the complete Nextcloud folder and file structure is visible in Euro-Office Desktop.
However, when I click any file in Nextcloud to open it, the file does not open and the terminal reports:
error: Failed to export bpf: System failure beyond the control of libseccomp

Fedora 44 x86_64
Kernel: 7.2.5-200.fc44.x86_64
libseccomp: 2.6.1-2.fc44.x86_64
glibc: 2.43-8.fc44.x86_64
Qt5: 5.15.18-2.fc44.x86_64
Qt6: 6.11.2-2.fc44.x86_64
Euro-Office DesktopEditors: 9.3.1-dev.0

Additional observations:
- Euro-Office Desktop itself launches successfully.
- The Nextcloud connection succeeds.
- The full file/folder structure is displayed.
- The failure occurs only when opening a remote file.
- Starting Euro-Office with --no-sandbox produces the same error.
- Brave installed via Flatpak works normally on the same Fedora system.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Start Euro-Office Desktop:
euro-office-desktopeditors
2. Connect Euro-Office Desktop to a Nextcloud instance.
3. Browse the Nextcloud folders.
4. Click any document, for example a DOCX or XLSX file.
5. The document does not open.
6. The terminal reports:
error: Failed to export bpf: System failure beyond the control of libseccomp

### Expected behavior

The selected Nextcloud file should open normally in Euro-Office Desktop after the Nextcloud connection has authenticated successfully and the file has been listed in the remote file browser.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the failure on Fedora 44 with Euro-Office Desktop, opening a remote DOCX or XLSX file through the Nextcloud browser, and compare the normal and --no-sandbox runs. Done means remote Office files open successfully without the libseccomp BPF export error.
