[Bug]: After restore, opening file navigates to Deleted files (file not in trash)

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

After restoring a file from Deleted files, the restore succeeds and the file is correctly placed back in Personal files. However, opening the restored file immediately afterwards causes the Files app to navigate back to Deleted files (breadcrumb such as Deleted files / Documents), even though the file no longer exists there.

In some cases, even newly uploaded files under Personal files subsequently open in the trash view until the page state is refreshed.

This appears to be a stale Files UI state (path, file id or navigation context) after restoring an item from the trash rather than a failed restore.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a folder (e.g. Documents) in Personal files.
2. Upload a .docx file to that folder.
3. Delete the folder.
4. Open Deleted files.
5. Restore the folder.
6. Verify that the folder is back under Personal files.
7. Open the restored .docx file.

Update: we disabled Full Text Search to rule it out:

• files_fulltextsearch
• fulltextsearch
• fulltextsearch_elasticsearch

Behaviour is unchanged (restore still navigates to Deleted files when opening the file). So this does not appear related to FTS.

Also note: instance is on 33.0.0 (config above).

Expected behavior

• After restoring a file or folder, opening the file should remain in Personal files.
• The Files app should not navigate back to Deleted files once the item has been restored.
• The breadcrumb and navigation context should reflect the restored location.

Additional info

• Upgraded to NC 33 some time ago; noticed only recently
• Related to #58233 (Unknown / A long time ago in Deleted files)
• Extra: after restore, opening file from Personal files navigates to Deleted files view though file is no longer in trash
• Also: upload new file → open → lands in trash view (file not there)
• Storage: CIFS datadir, 2 app nodes, Redis (APCu+Redis)
• Browser: <Chrome/Firefox + version>

Reproduce the restore flow in the Files app: restore a folder from Deleted files, open its file, then try opening a newly uploaded file without refreshing. Trace the navigation state, path, and file context after restore; done means restored and newly uploaded files open in Personal files with the correct breadcrumb, without disabling full-text search.
