Research direction

Start in NotesServerSyncTask.java at pushLocalChanges, especially lines 130 and 150, and trace how marking a note favorite is synchronized. Reproduce the steps on the listed Android and Nextcloud versions, then verify that the star is highlighted and the note appears in both favorite lists without the reported network failure.
