Hello,

vue.runtime.esm.js:3065 SyntaxError: "undefined" is not valid JSON

Research direction
Reproduce the Review > Document Compare flow and start in src/view/FilesAppIntegration.js around lines 178–181, where the JSON.parse error is reported. Then inspect FilePicker.vue around lines 276 and 320 to follow how the integration result reaches the picker. Done means the “Insert file from Nextcloud” picker no longer freezes in this flow and the reported undefined JSON error is resolved.
