Add Memos API Endpoint

When adding a new API endpoint to the MemosM Android client, you must handle the API versioning correctly.

1. Add to the Base Interface

Add the abstract method definition to app/src/main/java/org/example/memosm/api/MemosApi.kt. This interface acts as the central contract for the app. The methods here should not have Retrofit annotations (like @GET or @POST).

interface MemosApi {
    // ...
    suspend fun getMyNewData(param1: String): MyNewDataResponse
}

2. Add to the Retrofit Interfaces

The network requests are executed via Retrofit in the versioned interfaces. The core one is MemosApiV0353.kt (or the latest version file). Add the Retrofit annotated method there:

interface MemosApiV0353 {
    @GET("api/v1/mynewdata")
    suspend fun getMyNewData(@Query("param1") param1: String): MyNewDataResponse
}

If the endpoint has a different signature in older API versions, you might need to add/override it in MemosApiV0260.kt or MemosApiV0270.kt.

3. Implement in the Impl Classes

Each version has an implementation class (e.g., MemosApiV0353Impl.kt) that implements MemosApi and delegates to the Retrofit interface.

class MemosApiV0353Impl(private val api: MemosApiV0353) : MemosApi {
    // ...
    override suspend fun getMyNewData(param1: String): MyNewDataResponse {
        return api.getMyNewData(param1)
    }
}

Make sure to implement the method in the older version implementations (MemosApiV0260Impl.kt, etc.) as well, either delegating to the network call or returning a fallback/throwing an exception if the API is unsupported in that old version.
