API Pagination Trap: Stop Losing Records Between Pages

A list view and export job look fine until records duplicate, disappear, or shift between pages. Participants debug pagination with changing data, unstable sort keys, offset limits, cursor bugs, filters, and long-running exports.

The lab teaches how pagination becomes a correctness problem, not just a UI feature. Teams will design stable ordering, cursor contracts, snapshot strategies, and tests that prove no records vanish between requests.
