Retrieve Public Submission
Retrieves one of a bounty’s publicly visible submissions in the reduced public shape — the read behind a shared proof link, whose submission is usually outside the bounty page’s capped preview. Authentication is optional; a bounty that is not publicly visible, and a submission that is not publicly visible work on it, both return 404.
