-    API endpoint which can insert a chunk of events historically back in time

-    `chunk_id` comes from `next_chunk_id `in the response of the batch send
-    endpoint and is derived from the "insertion" events added to each chunk.
-    It's not required for the first batch send.
-
-    `state_events_at_start` is used to define the historical state events
-    needed to auth the events like join events. These events will float
-    outside of the normal DAG as outlier's and won't be visible in the chat
-    history which also allows us to insert multiple chunks without having a bunch
-    of `@mxid joined the room` noise between each chunk.
-
-    `events` is chronological chunk/list of events you want to insert.
-    There is a reverse-chronological constraint on chunks so once you insert
-    some messages, you can only insert older ones after that.
