Research direction

Reproduce the reported flow on an Android device: update a note in the Nextcloud Notes app, wait at least 15 minutes, and inspect the phone widget without opening Notes. Start with the Background synchronization setting and the widget refresh path; no files or tests are named in the report. Done means the widget updates in the background under the reported configuration.
