beforeOperation hook not called for findVersions operation

[jhb-dev]

Describe the Bug

The beforeOperation collection hook is not being called when using the findVersions operation, while it correctly triggers for normal find operations. This is inconsistent behavior - all operations should trigger beforeOperation hooks.

Expected Behavior

Both operations should trigger the beforeOperation hook:

• payload.find() → beforeOperation hook called ✓
• payload.findVersions() → beforeOperation hook called ✓

Actual Behavior

Only find triggers the hook:

• payload.find() → beforeOperation hook called ✓
• payload.findVersions() → beforeOperation hook NOT called ✗

During a discussion with r1tsuu in the Discord, he noticed that the afterOperation hook is also not called for find operations.
