Description

Describe the bug

Opening a file from files makes the NC sidebar open after the file is opened.

I'm still trying to gather the steps for this but even when I cannot reproduce it I see for a split second a sidebar NC change. Example:

1st:

and then before it opens it flickers to:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported flow: open a file from Files and observe whether the Nextcloud sidebar opens or flickers before the file appears. Trace the file-opening and sidebar state transitions in the frontend; done means opening a file leaves the sidebar closed and does not show the reported flicker.
