### Bug description

Client version 3.15 - folders remain correctly synced
Client version 4.0.4 - folders uncheck and remove from the local file system after every OS reboot or logout and back into the user account without reboot

This feels like a race condition in the client loading the nmemonic and detecting the presence of the encrypted folders.

Logs show all the encrypted folders being removed in

.config/Nextcloud/logs/20260120_1954_permanent_delete.log.0

e.g

```
2026-01-20 19:54:22:387 [ info nextcloud.log.permanent /usr/src/debug/nextcloud-client/nextcloud-client/src/libsync/propagatorjobs.cpp:106 ]: delete "Guides" ""
```

Guides being the encrypted folder inside Documents folder being the configured sync.

The other logs aren't showing anything of use.

My server needed upgrading from v29 to v32 which we performed whilst testing against the client version 4.0.4 for this issue.

Non-encrypted folders stay synced under the same folder sync without issue.

### Steps to reproduce

Sync an encrypted folder with the encryption key set in the 4.0.4 client
Reboot
Login
If you are quick enough to open the folder you'll see the files removing

Encrypted folders stay synced to the client
Checkboxes under the sync folder stay checked
Files are not deleted
