Solutions

1. Provide enough context (notebook/box ID) so the snapshot can be resolved unambiguously.
2. Avoid passing identifiers that match multiple notebooks or snapshots.

Example fix

Include the notebook ID together with the snapshot reference when requesting the history snapshot render.

When it happens

Trigger: Rendering an attribute view history snapshot whose identifiers match more than one notebook context.

Common situations: Occurs when a snapshot restore request matches multiple notebooks or none, so the kernel cannot decide where the attribute view belongs.
