Bug description

i am trying to download multiple files from a public shared folder, which in turn creates a zip file and that file gets downloaded. when trying to extract it with 7zip (or nanazip from ms store) i get header errors warning. this does not happen with nextcloud 30 and prior.

Steps to reproduce
  1. upload multiple files into a folder.
  2. share the folder.
  3. open the shared folder link and select all files.
  4. click download.
  5. try to extract the downloaded file with 7zip or nanazip.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the public-shared-folder multi-file download on Nextcloud 31 and compare the generated ZIP with Nextcloud 30, then trace the ZIP generation and download entry point. Done means 7zip and Nanazip extract the downloaded archive without header warnings, with a regression test covering the behavior.
