Research direction
Start by reproducing the federation setup described in the issue: link two Nextcloud servers, enable sharing to groups on other servers, create a group remotely, and search for it from the master. The issue names no files, tests, logs, or entry points; done means remote groups can be searched and selected from the master server.
