Description

During an integration I am trying to find out some API to use like public avatars provider the same way as gravatar / libravatar / github
but in looks there is no way for NextCloud to fetch small preview by email hash instead of id
Something like https://cloud.local/avatar//64 required
Currently some id used which can be generated sometimes by user login... sometimes it looks like GUID. Depends on the way user account integrated. So I can't even predict which data used to generate avatar link

Research direction

No file or test is named; start by tracing the existing avatar URL handling and how user-account identifiers are selected. Compare that behavior with the requested hash-based endpoint and confirm the expected preview-size handling, then add coverage showing that the public avatar URL can be resolved from an email hash.
