📝 Summary

This is a continuation of the work started in #2518 and #2443 to optimize the members list in Collectives.

nextcloud/circles v35 now provides its own members management UI, so Collectives no longer needs to duplicate that functionality. This PR detects that capability and, when it is available, turns the MembersWidget members button into a link that opens the Circles team settings in a new tab. For older Circles versions the existing member management popup is preserved unchanged.

Benefits

• Smaller member-management surface in Collectives.
• Faster member fetches because fullDetails=true is skipped when the Circles app already provides the management UI.
• No behavior change for users on older Circles versions.

Thanks @Koc

That's definitely matching what the current teams efforts are going for.

@marcoambrosini Is this what you had in mind for managing members from within an app?

As far as I understood it, the plan was to provide a shared members management widget that can be injected in other apps, but to keep the possibility to manage members in Collectives without having to leave the app. And that's also what I personally would prefer.

@mejo- I can try to do that, but need some more info:

1. do we have something similar already? where can I inspire from?
2. how UI should look like? Because for now we have quite different representation of popup in Collectives and page in Circles

@Koc thanks, much appreciated. I think the best would be to align with the design team (Cc @marcoambrosini), maybe even in a quick coordination call?

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, this is exactly what I think is best.

@marcoambrosini can you please answer to my questions, then?
