bound-details is in fact not a property attached to spanner-interface
(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/internals/spanner_002dinterface)
but to the more specific line-spanner-interface
(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/internals/line_002dspanner_002dinterface),
which OttavaBracket currently does not implement. Therefore, it's
expected that this doesn't work.

The primary purpose of text marks is to be aligned to bar lines
and to be performance indications for all staves (Text_mark_engraver
lives in Score by default and the marks are typeset above all
staves). Is a text mark really what you want here? I would just
use a text script:

\version "2.23.82"

{
  r4
  \ottava 1
  c''' d''' e''' |
  \ottava 0
  r e'^\markup\italic "kludge"  d' c'
}
