17/// The largest page a `list` call may return, when nothing narrower is asked
18/// for.
19///
20/// # Why this is a constant rather than five literals
21///
22/// It used to be five. [`TaskStoreConfig::max_page_size`] defaulted to `1000`,
23/// and each of the four SQL stores carried its own `n.min(1000)` — so the
24/// *configurable* bound and the *hardcoded* one agreed by coincidence, and the
25/// SQL stores took no `TaskStoreConfig` at all. An operator who tightened
26/// `max_page_size` to protect a database therefore changed the in-memory store
27/// and nothing else, and the book documented the field as capping `list`
28/// generally.
29///
30/// MEASURED 2026-08-19, cap set to 10 against 60 stored tasks with a client
31/// asking for 100:
32///
33/// | store | returned |
34/// |---|---|
35/// | `InMemoryTaskStore` (cap honoured) | 10 |
36/// | `SqliteTaskStore` (cap unreachable) | **60** |
37///
38/// The knob failed only once somebody set it, which is the shape this
39/// repository has now found three times — a configurable bound whose default
40/// equals the hardcoded fallback, so nothing looks wrong until the person who
41/// cares tightens it.
42///
43/// Each SQL store now takes its own cap (`with_max_page_size`) defaulting to
44/// this constant, so the two can no longer drift apart silently.
