Description

WithPaginationLimit(0) built an empty page and then indexed page[-1] while building the next cursor. Every paged list panicked.

A limit that is not positive now means no paging: the full list is returned and the cursor is empty.

Fixes #1045

Walkthrough

Non-positive pagination limits now return all remaining list items without a next cursor. The option documentation describes this behavior, and a test checks the zero-limit case for tools/list.

Changes

Pagination limit behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Apply non-positive limits as unpaged lists
server/server.go, server/server_additional_test.go
Pagination and next-cursor generation now require a positive limit. The option documentation describes zero and negative limits as unpaged. A test verifies that a zero limit returns all three tools without a next cursor.

The pagination change appears correct. The remaining concern is limited to bringing the new test into line with the required table-driven format and covering the negative-limit case.

Use the required table-driven test structure.

Convert this test to tests := []struct{ name, ... } cases for limits 0 and -1. This follows the repository testing rule and checks both documented non-positive cases.

As per coding guidelines, “Testing: Use testify/assert and testify/require; table-driven tests with tests := []struct{ name, ... }; test files end in _test.go.”
