Research direction

Reproduce the issue in a Nextcloud 33.0.5 instance using the End-to-End Encryption app 2.1.1: open a text file in an e2ee folder and inspect the browser title. Trace the browser file-opening path and title rendering, then verify that the displayed title uses the unencrypted filename without exposing encrypted naming data.
