fix #4296

Report where the user is in a set of results, and move them somewhere else in it. The component loads nothing: it emits the page the user asked for, along with the offset and limit that page needs, and the consumer decides what that means.

Landing it whole rather than in parts, since a new component is not useful to review without the examples and tests that show what it does.

This first version covers the numbers form for sources that can count. Held back deliberately, each because it would widen the API before anything has used the narrow one: the counter and dots variants along with the variant property that selects them, jump-to-page from the ellipsis, and support for sources that can never report a total.

The page count is derived from totalItems and pageSize; there is no totalPages property, because two numbers already determine the third and a third way to say it is only a way to disagree with yourself. Rows per page is read-only here — it belongs beside whatever else a consumer lets people configure, not inside a navigation control.

The first and last pages are always rendered, so both ends of the set are one click away without separate first and last buttons, which would have to be inferred from a glyph rather than read as a number.

Plain tab stops rather than a roving tabindex. Roving belongs to composite widgets, where the children are options within one control; this is a navigation region whose buttons are independent destinations, and the library already splits on that line with limel-tab-bar roving and limel-breadcrumbs not. Under roving, nothing on screen tells a keyboard user to press the arrow keys, so the reasonable conclusion is that the other pages cannot be reached at all.

The range each page holds is carried by its tooltip rather than by a readout beside the navigation, which keeps the control to one row of targets. Tooltip ids are per slot rather than per page number, because limel-tooltip resolves its owner element once when it connects and never looks again — a page number moves between slots as the user navigates, a slot does not.

Report where the user is in a set of results, and move them somewhere
else in it.

The component loads nothing and moves nothing. You give it a page and a
total; when someone picks a page it emits `goToPage`, carrying the
`offset` and `limit` that page needs, and waits. Setting `page` is what
moves it, and not setting `page` is how a consumer declines — a load
that failed leaves the control showing the page the user is actually
looking at, with nothing to put back. This is the contract
`limel-checkbox` already has, where a `change` the consumer ignores
leaves the box as it was.

The one thing it decides for itself is a page that does not exist. It
cannot render page 9 of a two-page set whatever it is told, so it shows
the nearest page that does and emits, with `reason: 'clamped'` to
separate that from a page the user chose. A correction is not a
navigation, and a consumer that writes the page into the URL should not
push a history entry for one. It only asserts that correction when it
has a count of its own: while a new one is in flight it holds the shape
it last knew, and a stale shape is not evidence that the consumer's page
is wrong.

The event is `goToPage` rather than `changePage` because `limel-table`
already emits a `changePage` carrying a plain number, and the two would
be indistinguishable to a table's own consumers the day a pagination is
rendered inside one.

Landing it whole rather than in parts, since a new component is not
useful to review without the examples and tests that show what it does.

This first version covers the numbers form for sources that can count.
Held back deliberately, each because it would widen the API before
anything has used the narrow one: the counter and dots variants along
with the `variant` property that selects them, jump-to-page from the
ellipsis, and support for sources that can never report a total.

The page count is derived from `totalItems` and `pageSize`; there is no
`totalPages` property, because two numbers already determine the third
and a third way to say it is only a way to disagree with yourself. Rows
per page is read-only here — it belongs beside whatever else a consumer
lets people configure, not inside a navigation control.

The first and last pages are always rendered, so both ends of the set
are one click away without separate first and last buttons, which would
have to be inferred from a glyph rather than read as a number. The
window is a constant seven positions wide, counting page numbers and
gap markers together, so the control does not change width as the user
pages through a set.

Plain tab stops rather than a roving tabindex. Roving belongs to
composite widgets, where the children are options within one control;
this is a navigation region whose buttons are independent destinations,
and the library already splits on that line with limel-tab-bar roving
and limel-breadcrumbs not. Under roving, nothing on screen tells a
keyboard user to press the arrow keys, so the reasonable conclusion is
that the other pages cannot be reached at all.

A page change is announced through a visually hidden live region,
because with no inline readout there is nothing else that would report
it. It speaks when the items the page holds change, not merely when the
number does: a page size that doubles leaves the user on page 3 of a
different set.

The range each page holds is carried by its tooltip rather than by a
readout beside the navigation, which keeps the control to one row of
targets. Tooltip ids are per slot rather than per page number, because
limel-tooltip resolves its owner element once when it connects and
never looks again — a page number moves between slots as the user
navigates, a slot does not.

🔄 Updated review. The agents reviewed 12a9a13; everything below has since been addressed and the branch squashed and force-pushed to 85b9dd587. ✅ Fixed = resolved since the review ran. The fixes were verified by the test suite and CI, not by a second agent pass.

Consolidated PR Review

PR Summary

Review tier: Full — 2502 changed lines across 23 files after noise filtering, nothing filtered out, no security-sensitive paths; six reviewers ran (Backward Compatibility, Code Quality, Observability and Performance on opus; Architecture and Security on fable). The PR adds a new limel-pagination component: a controlled page-number strip that emits goToPage with page and offset and never moves on its own, clamps to the last page when the set shrinks and reports that as reason: 'clamped', holds its shape while totalItems is null, and announces page changes through a live region. It ships with seven examples, a pure window-layout helper, spec coverage for both, nine translation keys in eight languages, and a @beta tag on the whole surface. 1 commit, 23 files.

Merge Readiness — READY TO MERGE ✅

The review found no blockers: the PR is purely additive, touches only src/interface.ts and the translation files outside its own directory, and nothing reviewed was a regression. All three Medium findings sat in new code the PR owns and have been fixed, along with five of the eight nits.

  • Blockers: None
  • Still open: three nits, deliberately left. Reasons in the following comment.

One change in this SHA did not come from these agents: render now returns a <Host> wrapper rather than an array of two keyed elements, from a CodeRabbit suggestion. Verified against the code first — the two key props were on a static two-element array and did nothing, and <Host> is the more common shape in this library (45 of 93 component files).


Dimensions

1. Backward Compatibility — GOOD ✅

Nothing existing is removed, renamed or re-typed; the only two new flat exports, GoToPageEvent and GoToPageReason, collide with nothing in this repo or its consumers.

What works well: @beta is applied consistently to the component, both exported types and the API report, so widening GoToPageReason later is explicitly allowed; all eight translation files gain the same nine keys with no duplicates; the event carries offset so consumers never re-derive it.

Issues: None.

2. Code Quality — GOOD ✅ (was NEEDS ATTENTION)

Issues:

  • ✅ Fixed Validating getters mutated state and logged during render. See Top Recommendation 2.
  • ✅ Fixed Loading UI and ARIA attributes had no test. See Top Recommendation 3.

What works well: Each spec case says what would break if it were wrong; the numeric edges that bite (NaN, Infinity, 2 ** 53, prop assignment order within one tick) are covered directly; every fallback is warned about and documented where it is applied.

Minor nits:

  • ✅ Fixed: rangeIdentity and rangeLabel computed the same from/capped to with different "no count" sentinels, and emitGoToPage computed the offset a third time. All three now go through one offsetOf/itemsOn pair.
  • ✅ Fixed: the page-size example's title ran into its first paragraph with no blank line, so it would not have rendered as a heading at all; its second paragraph also restated the first.
  • ✅ Fixed: the new export * split the contiguous picker block in src/interface.ts.

3. Architecture — GOOD ✅ (was NEEDS ATTENTION)

Issues:

  • ✅ Fixed Validated inputs were re-derived everywhere instead of settled in view. See Top Recommendation 2.

What works well: The component owns no navigation state and reason: 'clamped' separates corrections from user navigation; settling in componentWillRender rather than per-prop watchers makes the result independent of assignment order; getPageSlots is a pure, separately tested function.

Minor nits:

  • ✅ Fixed: GoToPageEvent carried both pageSize and limit, always set from the same variable. limit is gone.
  • ✅ Fixed (in part): lastKnownTotalItems no longer carries @State(), which did nothing there. liveMessage keeps it — see the following comment.
  • 🔵 Still open: the gap variant of PageSlot carries from/to that renderSlot ignores.

4. Security — GOOD ✅

Every string reaches the DOM through JSX text nodes and attributes, and all numeric props are gated by Number.isSafeInteger before arithmetic or allocation.

What works well: getPageSlots caps the rendered window at seven slots so a huge totalItems cannot allocate an unbounded array; a malformed language is caught around Intl.NumberFormat; no new dependencies, network or storage access, and warnings carry only the offending value.

Issues: None.

5. Observability — GOOD ✅ (was NEEDS ATTENTION)

Issues:

  • ✅ Fixed An unusable language was swallowed without any warning. See Top Recommendation 1.

What works well: The page, pageSize and totalItems warnings name the prop, the value and the fallback with the tag prefix, matching the convention in ai-avatar, table and flex-container; warnOnce keys on prop plus value and clears on a good value, both halves covered by tests; the clamped reason tells consumers in-band when the component is not showing what they asked for.

Minor nits:

  • ✅ Fixed: the totalItems warning said "Treating the count as not yet known" while the component actually kept the last count it had. It now says so.

6. Performance — GOOD ✅

Fixed-size slot allocation, once-bound handlers and a cached Intl.NumberFormat keep per-render cost flat regardless of set size.

What works well: getPageSlots allocates seven slots whether there are ten pages or a million; the component holds no timers, observers or document listeners, so nothing leaks on removal.

Minor nits:

  • 🔵 Still open: renderArrowTooltip returns nothing while loading is set, so both arrow tooltips are torn down when a fetch starts and rebuilt when it ends.

Top Recommendations

  1. ✅ Fixed — Warn when language cannot be used, like the other props do

    See what was originally recommended

    Introduced by this PR · small fix. Was recommended: belongs in this PR.

    • Where: src/components/pagination/pagination.tsx (createNumberFormat)
    • What: In the catch, warn once through warnOnce with the bad value and the en fallback. Also compare resolvedOptions().locale against the requested tag, because a well-formed but unsupported tag such as zz does not throw and instead resolves to the viewer's machine locale.
    • Why: en_US, sv_SE and '' all throw and are easy for a host to produce from a backend locale string or an empty document.documentElement.lang; in the zz case the control renders English labels beside machine-locale digit grouping, which is exactly the mix the comment in this catch says it exists to prevent.

    Fixed by comparing the resolved primary subtag against the requested one through the repo's own getPrimarySubtag, so both the throwing and the silently-substituted cases warn. Two tests, one of them for zz specifically.

  2. ✅ Fixed — Settle the validated totalItems and pageSize into view once per render

    See what was originally recommended

    Introduced by this PR · medium fix. Was recommended: belongs in this PR.

    • Where: src/components/pagination/pagination.tsx (View, componentWillRender, knownTotalItems, usablePageSize, rangeLabel)
    • What: Widen View to { page, pageCount, pageSize, totalItems }, run the two validators exactly once in componentWillRender, and have the readers use this.view instead of the getters.
    • Why: Reading this.knownTotalItems or this.usablePageSize re-ran validation, mutated warnedAbout and could call console.warn, and a single render did that roughly a dozen times through seven tooltips; a call site like this.rangeLabel(page) gave no hint it might write to the console.

    Fixed as described. The settle step absorbed rememberTotalItems and the pageCount getter, both of which are now gone.

  3. ✅ Fixed — Add tests for the loading UI and the ARIA attributes

    See what was originally recommended

    Introduced by this PR · medium fix. Was recommended: belongs in this PR.

    • Where: src/components/pagination/pagination.spec.tsx, covering renderSpinner, renderTooltip, renderArrowTooltip
    • What: Assert a limel-spinner inside the current page button, aria-busy="true" on the nav and aria-disabled="true" on the buttons; add one test that a page button renders a nested limel-tooltip whose elementId matches the button's id.
    • Why: The aria-disabled-instead-of-disabled choice is defended in a comment as what keeps an end-of-set arrow focusable for screen-reader users, but swapping it for the real disabled attribute, removing the spinner or dropping the tooltips entirely would all have left every test green, because clicks are guarded separately in selectPage and step.

    Fixed with four tests, including the negative case — that aria-busy, aria-disabled and the spinner are absent once the page lands — and one asserting every button's accessible name.


Verified after the fixes: 1320 spec tests (81 on pagination), 16 example tests, eslint clean, and api:verify passing on a regenerated report.

Generated by Claude Opus 5.

Three nits from the review above are deliberately left in. Recording why, so the next person reading the review does not have to work out whether they were missed.

liveMessage keeps its @State() — I disagree with the finding

The review grouped liveMessage with lastKnownTotalItems: both are only written inside componentWillRender, where the setter cannot schedule an update because one is already in flight, so the decorator has no effect and misleads about data flow.

That is right about lastKnownTotalItems, and it has been dropped there. It is pure bookkeeping — render never reads it, only the settle step does.

liveMessage is a different case, and the two should not have been grouped. It is read by render. That it currently only ever gets written during an already-scheduled render is incidental to the field, not a property of it: the day someone sets it from a click handler or a @Watch, @State() is what makes the live region update, and without it the announcement would silently stop working. @State() is the honest annotation for "this affects render", so it stays.

PageSlot's gap keeps its from and to

Correct that renderSlot ignores them today and only the util tests read them. Two reasons to keep them.

They are what jump-to-page needs (#4298): a gap has to know which pages it hides before it can offer them. And PageSlot is internal — deliberately not routed through src/interface.ts, unlike GoToPageEvent — so nothing public is being widened by carrying two numbers nobody reads yet. Deleting and re-adding them costs more than leaving them, and the type reads better for describing what a gap actually stands for.

This one is genuinely arguable against the PR's own "no API before a consumer" principle. The principle is about the public surface; these are not on it.

The arrow tooltips still unmount while loading

Correct, and it is the largest of the three: both arrow tooltips — each a limel-tooltip, a limel-portal and a limel-tooltip-content — are torn down when a fetch starts and rebuilt when it ends, so roughly twelve elements connect and disconnect per page change.

Left out because it is not a tidy-up. renderArrowTooltip returns nothing when the arrow is disabled, and isArrowDisabled is true whenever loading is. Gating the tooltip on end-of-set alone would keep it mounted, but it also means a temporarily inert arrow goes on describing where it would take you. I think that is the better behaviour — it answers "where does this go?" while you wait rather than going blank — but it is a decision about what the control says, not a refactor, and it deserves to be made deliberately rather than folded into a performance fix.

Tracked in #4304 with the rest of the arrow rendering, alongside the related point that isArrowDisabled is computed twice per arrow.

For completeness

Everything else the review raised is fixed in 85b9dd587: all three Medium findings and five of the eight nits. Two nits turned out to be worth more than their severity suggested — the page-size example's heading ran into its first paragraph with no blank line, so it would not have rendered as a heading at all on the docs site, and GoToPageEvent carried both pageSize and limit always set from the same variable, which is the same "two names for one value" shape this PR rejects for totalPages. limit is gone; consumers read pageSize.
