Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Reproduce the read-only behavior for a locked .txt or .md file in Nextcloud Text, then trace the lock-owner permission check and the Text editing entry point. Done means the lockOwner can edit the locked file while other users remain unable to edit it.
