BGP history scenario
GET /bgp/history/scenario
Replay payload for a single prefix over a time window, reconstructed from the bitemporal best-path/peer history (bgp_best_path_history, bgp_peer_history). Backs the BGP change-animation replay panel. Shaped like the RIPEstat bgplay data call: the state open at from, plus the ordered transitions within the window.

type is derived from interval adjacency: announce (no interval ended exactly at this open), change (an interval ended here — old carries the prior next-hop / AS-path / local-pref / MED for the diff lane), withdraw (a terminal close — no interval begins at this instant).origin is change or seed. Seed transitions (D-SEED reconciliation at engine start) are labeled, not dropped — the UI de-emphasizes them ("changed during a monitoring gap"). Bitemporal note: a route that vanished while the engine was down surfaces as a withdraw at reconciliation time (there is no close-side origin marker) — correlate with a peer_events session gap at the same instant.- Replay temporal floor = the recorder's debounce (30 s default): sub-debounce flaps are coalesced and do not appear.
Errors: 400 if as_id, prefix, or the window is missing/invalid.
