Description

Describe the bug
Every time a new document is created or opened in Office app, a persistent popup notification appears at the bottom of the screen saying: "Überprüfen Sie die Warnmeldungen Ihres Servers" (Check your server warnings) with an "Open" button.

When opening the server check page, there are two specific warnings regarding the Collabora setup:

  1. "Die BPF-Filterung potentiell riskanter Systemaufrufe (seccomp) ist nicht aktiviert, dies stellt ein Sicherheitsrisiko dar."
  2. "Langsame Einrichtung des Kit- Jails mit Kopieren, Bind-Mount nicht möglich"

Since these two environment-specific warnings are known, minor, and accepted by the administrator, the constant live popups on the screen create a bad user experience and confusion. There is currently no way to disable or mute these specific setup check notifications in the UI or configuration.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the Nextcloud Files app.
  2. Click on the "+" button to create a new document (or open an existing one).
  3. The document opens in Office Mode.
  4. See the warning popup at the bottom of the screen.

Expected behavior
There should be a configuration option, an OCC command, or a button in the admin panel to mute or permanently dismiss known and accepted environment-related setup warnings so they do not trigger intrusive frontend popups every time an editor is started.

Screenshots
I have two of them but don't know how to add them here

Research direction

Start by reviewing the setup-check popup shown when Office Mode opens and the two listed Collabora warnings. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so trace the warning flow across the richdocuments app before choosing whether suppression belongs in the UI, an OCC command, or admin configuration. Done means an administrator can permanently mute accepted setup warnings without repeated editor-start popups.
