Research direction
Reproduce the retention deletion on Debian 11 with nginx, PostgreSQL, PHP 7.4.33, and Nextcloud 25.0.4, then trace how files_retention generates the Nextcloud mail notification. Done means the message identifies the deleted node and states that retention caused its deletion instead of attributing it to "remote user".
