Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Nextcloud iOS app 6.1.3 on iOS 18.1, following the listed steps and checking the Apple Files integration. The payload names no source files or tests, so the relevant integration entry point and existing coverage must be located first. Done means offline folders opened through Apple Files contain their Nextcloud content.
