Get resource change history from an account audit log entry (Version 2)

GET/accounts/{account_id}/logs/audit/{id}/history

Returns the chronological change history for the resource identified by the given audit log entry.

The endpoint first locates the source audit log entry by id (using action_time to narrow the lookup window), derives identifying filters from that entry, and then returns matching audit logs within the since/before window.

The result_info.history_status field indicates the quality of the resource identification used:

exact: Resource was identified by the resource URI.
approximate: Resource was identified without the resource URI.
unavailable: The source audit log entry did not contain enough information to identify the resource; an empty result is returned.
