You can accomplish this kind of folding fairly easily by using a file expression, using a function to calculate the fold level of the current line.
You can start a new fold of level n on a line that starts with n *s (possibly followed by whitespace.) For a line that doesn't start with *, simply use the fold level of the most recent * line above it.
That's ...

You can use the :normal command to execute a normal command such as zD for all lines in a range.
To execute that command in all lines from the current one until the end of the file, you can use:
:.,$normal! zD
I'm using :normal! to ignore any mappings affecting the zD command and use Vim's native definition of that command. (But if you don't have any such ...

Let's look into vim source code:
There is a function which is called when a change was made:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/85629985b71035608a37ba3bde86968481490d46/src/change.c#L429

Which does folding (including foldexpr):

set foldlevelstart=99
With this option all your folds would be open for a file you edit(open).
'foldlevelstart' 'fdls' number (default: -1)
global
{not available when compiled without the |+folding|

This behavior will happen if line 377 is part of a fold that starts at the top of the file, and that fold that is currently open.
In that case, the new fold Vim will create will actually start at line 1 (not at line 377) and Vim will close the new fold, effectively folding the whole file.
You can reproduce this behavior with:
zE (delete all folds.)
