While developing a test for contrib, I'm running into an problem with stream wrappers gone missing.
If a stream wrapper (e.g. but not limited to private://) for some reason becomes unavailable, it is only after a cache flush that Drupal takes notice. Therefore, the user runs into related error messages before it is possible to inform them about the real problem.
This is however not only a problem for contrib, and in the case of the Core private:// wrapper, the UI is particularly inconsistent.
Once 'file_private_path' is set in settings.php, the file system settings page immediately takes notice of the present path (and resets the default to public://, if private:// doesn't exist anymore).
However StreamWrapperManager::getWrappers() doesn't update the list of stream wrappers until a cache reset, leading to the following Usability bug:
Private path present but scheme missing:

Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
This came up as a daily BSI target
1. Wonder since this was reported for D8 if still an issue in D11?
2. Can the issue summary be updated ot us the standard template
3. When updating the summary can we get steps that are causing this
