Research direction

Reproduce the failure using the listed Nextcloud 29 All-in-One, SAML SSO, app-password, and macOS CalDAV steps. Start by collecting the missing Nextcloud logs and configuration report, then trace the CalDAV request and authentication response; done means calendar events appear in the macOS Calendar app without the refresh error.
