Download one file a Session produced

Returns the exact bytes of one Session file, selected by its absolute output path, as application/octet-stream. The file must appear in listSessionFiles with kind: "captured"; an excluded file, an unknown path, and an erased body are one not-found, so retention state is never inferable from a read. Files are captured at settlement, so a listed file is immediately readable — there is no indexing delay to retry through. offset and length read one byte range and are supplied together — either one alone is a malformed request, since a defaulted half would decide on your behalf how much of the body you receive. length is at most 8388608 (8 MiB), the most one response carries. The range is served exactly or not at all: the response always holds exactly length bytes starting at offset, and a range that runs past the end of the body is a bare not-found rather than a short read. Size ranges from the listing — every captured entry names its exact size — because that refusal deliberately names nothing. The same 8 MiB ceiling bounds a read with NO range: a larger body is refused as a malformed request naming its size and this ceiling, rather than served or silently truncated. Current Runners can capture one file through 67108864 bytes (64 MiB), so use successive exact ranges to reconstruct a larger captured file. Each range currently streams the governed body from byte 0 and discards everything before offset, so a file read in N equal parts moves roughly N/2 times its bytes; this is bounded but callers should choose the largest useful range.
