Returns
BetaManagedAgentsMemoryVersion object{ id, created_at, memory_id, 10 more }

A memory_version object: one immutable, attributed row in a memory's append-only history. Every non-no-op mutation to a memory produces a new version. Versions belong to the store (not the individual memory) and persist after the memory is deleted. Retrieving a redacted version returns 200 with content, path, content_size_bytes, and content_sha256 set to null; branch on redacted_at, not HTTP status.
