Steps to reproduce

1. Have a dysfunctional Circles config
2. Run occ circles:check
3. Profit!

Expected behaviour

No profit, uhm, a better error message

Actual behaviour

For debugging purposes, I extended line 287 in apps/circles/lib/Command/CirclesCheck.php: $output->writeln('<error>Event created too many Wrappers</error>: '. count($wrappers) );. The result:

root@nextcloud:~# sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ -vvv circles:check
### Checking loopback address.
. The loopback setting is mandatory and can be checked locally.
. The address you need to define here must be a reachable url of your Nextcloud from the hosting server itself.
. By default, the App will use the entry 'overwrite.cli.url' from 'config/config.php'.

* testing current address: https://**redacted-address**
- GET request on https://**redacted-address**/csrftoken: 200
- POST request on https://**redacted-address**/apps/circles/async/test-dummy-token/: 200
- Creating async FederatedEvent  (took 7ms)
- Waiting for async process to finish (5s)
- Checking status on FederatedEvent Event created too many Wrappers: 0

I wouldn't call zero "too many Wrappers" and neither would I go from if( count($wrappers) !== 1 ) to "oh, that's too many" but to "that's not the expected count of $wrappers" 😉.

Still can't figure out why that happens, though. But that's another issue.
