[horde] Does the ActiveSync change the UID of events during sync?

Horde 5.2.23 + Kronolith + ActiveSync
I am using Thunderbird + TBSync to sync calendar items to the Horde
back-end. When a new calendar event is created, Thunderbird assigns a
UID of format:
823ba2e7-de3c-4ffc-b2d2-8303fb589b81.
After the next TBSync sync run, the UID is changed to something like:
20250919125755.GNZD0XKVS4MXYE5RerGsXXM at mail.mydomain.com
I am trying to figure out if TBSync changes the UID, or the
Horde/ActiveSync back-end. Would anyone know?
Side-note: this breaks event invites both when Thunderbird + TBSync +
Horde is used at the received or at the sending end. The sending end
sends email event updates with a different UID from the initial invite -
so the receiving end creates a new event, instead of updating the
original one. And when the receiving end uses TB+Horde install, the UID
is changed after accepting the initial invitation, so any further
updates to the event received over email, again, create a new event
instead of updating the original. Also, event cancellations are not
processed properly because of this.
Any info would be much appreciated. Many thanks
