work_episode_chain

Walk an episode’s amendment chain in one call. prev_id links each episode to the caller’s previous one, and following it hop by hop cost one round trip per link. Returns the chain newest-first starting at id. The work-memory reader contract applies at every hop, not just the first: tombstoned rows never surface, expired rows are excluded, and the walk stays inside the calling principal unless any_caller (admin:workspace, P1.7). The walk STOPS at the first hop that fails those filters rather than skipping over it — a gap in a returned chain would itself disclose that a hidden episode exists. response_format=concise returns each episode as work_episodes does; truncated is always kept.
