Research direction
Start in NotesServerSyncTask.java at pushLocalChanges lines 151 and 164, then trace the sync flow through pullRemoteChanges at line 225. Reproduce the failure using the reported Android 14, app 4.4.2, and Nextcloud 31.0.7 setup, and verify that syncing completes without the reported NullPointerException.
