Description
steps to reproduce:
share a file with user1 (share_with) as user2 (uid_initiator) owned by user3 (uid_owner)
create group1
add user2 and user3 as members to group1
create groupfolder for group1
as user3, move the file into the new groupfolder
the share still has user1 as share_with, user2 as uid_initiator and user3 as uid_owner and is accessible
remove user3 from group1
🛑 the shared file is still shown but user1 cannot access the file anymore

Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed sharing, group-folder, and membership-removal steps in a local Nextcloud groupfolders setup, then trace the group-folder permission handling involved in access checks. Done means the reported shared file remains accessible to user1 after user3 is removed from group1, with regression coverage for this sequence.
