Research direction

Start by locating the Feed endpoint and its query-parameter definitions, then trace how type, at, after, and sequential indexes are currently handled. Done means the supported parameters accurately reflect working feed behavior and the endpoint supports retrieval at a specified sequential index, with the expected behavior documented and tested.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

seen
Summary
epoch based feeds

Currently there is no working version nor usage of epoch based feeds yet it is defined within the type query parameter. This parameter option should be removed until the feature is fixed.

Also, at and after query parameters are seemingly not used.
The currently defined parameters could be misleading how to properly use Feeds and showing what it is capable of.

sequential feed indexing

The main point of the feed endpoint is to have indexing abstraction over SOCs.
Unfortunately, one of the most prominent use-case is not supported when a user wants to retrieve a feed update at a specific sequential index.

Motivation

The currently defined parameters could be misleading how to properly use Feeds in Bee.
