Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the Calendar 5.3.2 and Notifications 4.0.0 apps using the reported deletion steps on Nextcloud Server 31. Check how deleted recurring events continue to generate mail and app notifications. Done means notifications stop after the event is deleted; the report provides no file or test names to begin from.
