Steps to reproduce
  1. Login on a server which does not have notes app installed.
Expected behaviour

App should tell the user after earliest possible verification that the app is missing and the login cannot be completed this way.

Actual behaviour

Cryptic 404 error alerts after successful login, arising from the failed synchronization.

Server configuration

Latest Nextcloud Docker image.

Browser

Inapplicable.

Notes

This is important to consider as part of #97.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Reproduce login against a Nextcloud server without the Notes app installed, then trace the failed synchronization that produces the cryptic 404 alert. Done means the app detects the missing server app as early as possible, shows a clear message, and does not complete login through this unsupported path.
