Research direction

Reproduce the behavior with a sequential feed containing at least 2–3 updates, then open its address through the /bzz/ endpoint. Trace the sequential feed lookup path and compare the selected update with the expected latest update. Done means the endpoint returns the latest feed update consistently; no specific file or test is named in the issue.
