Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening a non-existing conversation such as /index.php/call/asdasd and checking the recorded brute-force attempts. Trace the request handling and brute-force registration for that route, then confirm the intended attempt count with maintainers. Done means the behavior is documented and the recorded count matches the agreed expectation.
