Research direction

Start by reproducing the difference between opening a folder through Files and through Favorites in the Nextcloud iOS app, using the listed iOS and app versions as context. Trace how each path builds the file action menu; done means Favorites exposes rename, move, and mark as offline alongside the existing actions.
