Description

In the REST API for the history log, we can unify:

  • blocks/<key>/draft_history/ with containers/<key>/draft_history/
  • blocks/<key>/publish_history/ with containers/<key>/publish_history/
  • blocks/<key>/creation_entry/ with containers/<key>/creation_entry/

Research direction

Start by locating the REST API handlers for the listed blocks and containers history-log endpoints and compare their current routes and behavior. Done means the paired draft_history, publish_history, and creation_entry entry points are unified without changing their intended responses, with the relevant API tests passing.
