Research direction

Start in RecommendedFile.vue at the navigate handler around line 155, using the browser error t.joinPaths is not a function as the first clue. Reproduce the click in the Files app and trace the recommended-folder navigation path. Done means clicking a recommended folder opens it and the browser no longer reports this error.
