Research direction

No source files or tests are named; start by locating the Electron desktop app startup and link-handling entry points, then review how links from the Web UI, Nextcloud Client, and call notifications would reach it. Done means a registered nextcloudtalk:// protocol can open the app, target a chat, join a call, and decline a call.
