Research direction

Start in NotesServerSyncTask.java at pushLocalChanges lines 151 and 164, then inspect pullRemoteChanges around line 225 and the TokenMismatchException from the Nextcloud SSO request. Reproduce the failed sync with the listed app and server versions, determine why the token request is rejected, and verify that local notes sync successfully without leaving the sync arrows.
