Schengen 90/180 day rule with 4 day overstay

However, they were basing it somehow on the fact that she had overstayed 4 days earlier sometime in January. However, when she left the immigration control in the country that time. They only told her she had to be careful because there could be consequences, but that they will not take measures this time, because it's minor.

So there was an overstay in January, which was labeled "minor" by officials and did not result in a fine at the time?

There is your explanation. The previous overstay is on her record.

You seem to think that visas are a right and that they have to grant you one unless there is a very specific rule that says they shouldn’t.

This is not the case. The applicant needs to establish that they will respect the rules of their visa (no work, no relying on the state, leaving in time).

By overstaying, one shows they do not respect the rules, which means they are very unlikely to grant any further visas. This will probably last at least as long as the information is available.
