Research direction

Reproduce the issue by clicking an office file in an end-to-end-encrypted folder with Nextcloud 33.0.3.2 and app version 2.1.1, then trace the browser handling of the Collabora launch. Done means the action no longer leaves an infinite loading spinner and instead does nothing or clearly explains that browser editing is unavailable in e2ee folders.
