Hardens fetchAllPages with the guards it lacks, without changing behaviour for any of its 42 existing call sites (all still pass only the first argument).

What's added

An optional second parameter:

export interface FetchAllPagesOptions {
  /** Hard cap on pages fetched. Exceeding it throws; it never silently truncates. */
  maxPages?: number;
  /** Wall-clock budget for the entire run. Defaults to 60_000; 0 disables. */
  timeoutMs?: number;
  /** Caller cancellation, checked at entry and between pages. */
  signal?: AbortSignal;
}

Guards, in loop order: null/undefined page and non-array items throw naming the page index and cursor (today a 200-with-empty-body surfaces as a bare TypeError); a stuck cursor (server echoing the request cursor back as nextCursor) throws instead of looping forever; exceeding maxPages throws reporting the collected item count — it never silently truncates, since a truncated catalog sync looks like a successful one. nextCursor of null or '' is terminal like undefined. One deadline/one setTimeout raced per page and cleared in finally; the abort listener is { once: true } and removed in finally (a common leak).

Defaults — the one deliberate call

timeoutMs defaults to 60s (finite, with 0 as the escape hatch) so a runaway loop becomes a loud failure everywhere at once. maxPages stays opt-in with no default: a defaulted cap risks throwing on legitimately large tenants at all 42 call sites in one release. Happy to flip either if reviewers disagree — these are the two knobs worth arguing about.

PaginatedResponse and FetchAllPagesOptions are now exported from the package barrel.

Tests

All 7 pre-existing tests pass byte-identical. 20 new cases: stuck cursor, null/'' termination, maxPages exceeded and exactly-reached, fake-timer timeout (fires / disabled via timeoutMs: 0), pre-aborted and mid-flight abort, listener removal, malformed pages, cursor values in error messages, and jest.getTimerCount() === 0 after every fake-timer test. Statement coverage of pagination-utils.ts: 100%.

Also exports PaginatedResponse (previously local).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Enhanced pagination with optional page limits, timeout controls, and cancellation support.
    • Added safeguards against malformed responses and non-advancing cursors.
    • Exported pagination response and options types for broader integration.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Pagination now reports clear errors instead of silently truncating or hanging on invalid results.
    • Empty or missing cursors now correctly end pagination.

…r guards

fetchAllPages gains an optional options bag without changing behaviour for
existing single-argument callers:

- timeoutMs: wall-clock budget for the entire run. Defaults to 60s;
  0 disables the budget. One deadline, one setTimeout raced per page,
  cleared in finally.
- signal: AbortSignal cancellation, checked at entry and between pages;
  the once-listener is removed in finally so it never leaks.
- maxPages: opt-in hard cap on pages fetched. Exceeding it throws with
  the collected item count - it never silently truncates, since a
  truncated catalog sync looks like a successful one.
- Malformed-page guards: a null/undefined page or a page without an
  items array throws naming the page index and cursor instead of
  surfacing as a bare TypeError.
- Stuck-cursor guard: a server echoing the request cursor back as
  nextCursor throws instead of looping forever. One guard only.
- nextCursor of null or empty string is treated as terminal, matching
  undefined.

Also exports PaginatedResponse and FetchAllPagesOptions from the package
barrel. Statement coverage of pagination-utils.ts is 100%; the seven
pre-existing tests pass unmodified.

Walkthrough

fetchAllPages now validates paginated responses and supports page limits, timeouts, and abort signals. The pagination response and options types are exported. Tests cover malformed pages, cursor handling, timeout behavior, cancellation, and cleanup.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a6a24

The change can make an unnecessary request beyond the configured page limit, start another request after cancellation, and introduce a default timeout for existing callers; merge should wait until these behaviors are corrected and the release classification is updated to reflect the breaking runtime change.

Harden `fetchAllPages` with an optional options bag: `maxPages` caps how
many pages are fetched (throwing instead of silently truncating, and kept
opt-in with no default so existing callers see no new failure modes),
`timeoutMs` gives the whole run a wall-clock budget (chosen as a finite
60s default so unbounded pagination cannot hang a backend, with `0` as
the escape hatch that disables it), and `signal` lets callers abort the
run at entry and between pages. The helper now also detects stuck
cursors (a page returning the same non-empty cursor it was fetched with)
and malformed page responses (a nullish page or a missing `items`
array), throwing descriptive errors that name the page index, cursor,
and collected item count. `PaginatedResponse` and the new
`FetchAllPagesOptions` type are now exported. Behavior is unchanged for
callers that pass only `fetchPage`, apart from the new default timeout
kicking in.

Publish this behavior change as a major release.

Existing single-argument callers can now reject after 60 seconds. Those callers cannot disable the timeout without changing their code. This is a backward-incompatible runtime behavior change, so a minor changeset is not sufficient.

Check signal.aborted before each fetchPage call.

If the signal aborts after a page promise settles but before the loop resumes, the next iteration calls fetchPage(cursor) before Promise.race observes the rejected abortPromise. This can start a request after cancellation. Add an abort check at the start of each iteration and test that aborting from a first-page promise subscriber prevents the second request.

Enforce maxPages before fetching another page.

With maxPages: 2, this code fetches and collects page three before it throws. This violates the documented hard cap and can issue an unnecessary request. The current test also locks in the extra third call.

Check the limit at the start of a new iteration, before fetchPage(cursor). Update the test to expect two calls and four collected items.

Proposed fix
     do {
+      if (maxPages !== undefined && pageIndex >= maxPages) {
+        throw new Error(
+          `Pagination exceeded maxPages of ${maxPages} after ${pageIndex} pages and ${allItems.length} items collected`,
+        );
+      }
+
       const page = await Promise.race([
         fetchPage(cursor),
         ...(timeoutPromise ? [timeoutPromise] : []),
         ...(abortPromise ? [abortPromise] : []),
       ]);
...
-      if (maxPages !== undefined && pageIndex > maxPages) {
-        throw new Error(
-          `Pagination exceeded maxPages of ${maxPages} after ${pageIndex} pages and ${allItems.length} items collected`,
