Description
I (User A) removed a public link that was created by another user (User B), the activity feed says "<User B> removed public link for <filename>" but it should say User A instead.
Steps to reproduce:
- Log in as <User A> and create a file
- Share that file with <User B> internally (not via public link)
- Log in as <User B> and create a public share link for the file
- The activity feed now shows "<User B> shared <filename> as public link"
- Log in as <User A> and unshare the public link created by <User B>
Expected behavior:
The activity feed should show "<User A> removed public link for <filename>"
Actual behavior:
The activity feed shows "<User B> removed public link for <filename>"

Research direction
Start by reproducing the public-link removal flow using the five steps in the issue, then trace the activity-feed handling for removing a public link. Done means the feed attributes removal to User A, the user who unshared the link, rather than User B, who created it.
