Research direction

Start by reproducing the upload from Gallery to the Nextcloud iOS app on an iPad using the reported app and iOS versions, with a duplicate filename. Trace the duplicate-name handling and collect the relevant app or server logs; done means the second image is renamed as expected and uploaded with its contents rather than becoming a 0 KB placeholder.
