Research direction

Reproduce the issue from the web file list by opening a folder encrypted by the desktop client without web E2EE viewing configured. Trace the folder-click flow and E2EE viewing setup; done means the web shows a hint explaining why the folder cannot be opened instead of opening an empty listing in a new tab.
