Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash on Arch Linux with OBS 32.0.1 while creating, renaming, and duplicating scene collections, then inspect the attached OBS log and linked log URL. Trace the scene-collection operations involved and identify a reliable failure signal; done means all three operations complete without crashing and the relevant regression is covered by verification.
