Research direction

Start in apps/files_external/lib/Lib/Storage/SMB.php around line 696, then trace the call from occ files:scan through Scanner and the SMB storage implementation. Reproduce with an external SMB share whose name ends in $, and consider the issue resolved when the scan completes without the xattr or ForbiddenException errors.
