+
+The Studio view form (`viewForm`, served by `METADATA_FORM_REGISTRY.view`) now offers `pagination` for every view type, not only grids.
+
+`pagination.pageSize` is the row bound every view type carries. The form used to place `pagination` inside the grid-only `Table options` section (shown when `type` is `grid` or unset), so an author editing any other view type could not see or set it without editing the metadata by hand. It now has its own collapsed `Pagination` section with no visibility condition. `Table options` keeps `resizable`, `compactToolbar`, `rowHeight` and `selection`, still for grids only.
+
+No schema changed: every view type already accepted `pagination`. `@objectstack/platform-objects` ships the new section's label and description in its metadata-form translation bundles (en, zh-CN, ja-JP, es-ES).

+/**
+ * The Studio view form offers `pagination` to EVERY view type, and keeps the
+ * grid-only display options grid-only.
+ *
+ * ## What is being pinned
+ *
+ * `pagination.pageSize` is the row bound every view type carries; maintainer
+ * ruling D on #19228 makes it the direction for a view's row bound. The form
+ * used to offer `pagination` only inside `table_options`
+ * (`visibleWhen: "data.type == 'grid' || data.type == null"`), so an author
+ * editing any other view type could not see or set that bound short of editing
+ * the metadata by hand. Two halves, both asserted:
+ *
+ * - **offer**: for every value of the list-view `type` enum — and for a view
+ *   with no `type` yet — some section visible to that type offers `pagination`;
+ *   the offer is backed by the door, because every type parses a `pagination`
+ *   block clean and keeps it;
+ * - **no leak**: the grid-only fields stay hidden from every non-grid type.
+ *
+ * ## The kind list is read from the enum, never written here
+ *
+ * A literal list would stay green through a new view type the form hides
+ * `pagination` from. The list is the enum on {@link ListViewSchema} — the
+ * list-view shape this form lays out, and the one `ViewSchema`'s `list` /
+ * `listViews` entries are derived from — with a floor naming the four types
+ * the ruling is about, so an empty derivation cannot pass.
+ *
+ * ## How visibility is read
+ *
+ * A section's `visibleWhen` is a CEL predicate over the edited record as
+ * `data`. `packages/spec` carries no evaluator and must not grow one (no
+ * runtime logic in spec), so {@link visibleFor} reads the ONE grammar this form
+ * uses — a disjunction of `data.type == '<type>'` / `data.type == null` terms —
+ * and THROWS on anything else, naming the predicate. A predicate this pin cannot
+ * read fails it loudly instead of being guessed at.
