Description
There are some interesting bits in the sea file implementation about automatically detecting lock files from msoffice/libreoffice
Might be worth to have another look if we can either detect that in the clients and lock the file automatically, or sync the lock files and handle that on the server (that however is currently on the list of ignored files in the client)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked sea-file implementation in daemon/repo-mgr.c, especially the referenced sections, and inspect how ignored files are handled by the client. Determine whether automatic locking belongs in client detection or server-side lock-file synchronization, then document a clear behavior and validation path.
