Summary

ListVehicles and ListUsers (db/query.sql:17,54) have no LIMIT — the full table, marshalled to JSON, on every request. Every :many query added since ListVehiclesByUser carries LIMIT 1000 under a -- safety bound; not pagination comment; these two predate that convention. Separately, #92 built pagination for /admin/trips (tripsPageSize, HasMore via limit+1, tripsPageURL), and /admin/vehicles and /admin/users never got it.
This adds the safety bound to both queries, adds paged variants, wires limit/offset into both JSON endpoints, and paginates both admin pages using #92's helpers.

Approach: added methods, not changed signatures

Four call sites legitimately need the whole list — the dashboard's vehicle-label map (admin_page_handlers.go:305), the assignment dropdown (:841), the trips filter dropdown (:1233), and the live map (admin_live_handlers.go:47). Forcing limit/offset onto ListVehicles would silently truncate all four, with no natural test to catch it.
So ListVehicles/ListUsers keep their signature and gain a safety bound, and the paginating callers use new ListVehiclesPage/ListUsersPage behind narrow VehiclePager/UserPager interfaces. The existing TestStore_ListVehicles/TestStore_ListUsers pass unchanged, which is the proof the signatures held. No existing test fake needed a rewrite.
Manually verified with 200 vehicles and 200 users seeded: a vehicle that sits on page 4 of the paginated admin list still resolves its label on the dashboard and in /api/v1/admin/vehicles/live.

Compatibility

Both endpoints keep their bare-array response. Wrapping them with has_more — which is what location_history_handlers.go and handleListTrips both do, so the bare array is the outlier here, not the convention — would break existing consumers and #81's documented schema. I chose compatibility over consistency deliberately, and TestHandleListVehicles_StillReturnsBareArray (plus the users equivalent) pins that choice so it can't be undone by accident. Happy to do the wrap as a follow-up if breaking the shape is acceptable.
Both endpoints previously returned every row and now default to 50, so a client that read the whole table in one call now needs ?limit=/?offset=. That is the intended change, but it is a behaviour change worth calling out.

Behaviour changes worth calling out

  • /admin/vehicles rows are now ordered newest-first (the store's order) instead of being sorted by id within the page. Sorting a single page by id would make the page boundaries look arbitrary, since the slices themselves are cut in created_at order.
  • ListVehicles/ListUsers now truncate at 1000 rows. That is the point of a safety bound, and it matches the three existing bounded queries, but the dashboard, dropdowns and live map will stop at 1000 rows on a fleet that large.
  • The include_inactive filter moved from Go into SQL (ListActiveVehiclesPage). Filtering after the fetch would have shrunk a page below the page size as deactivated rows were dropped; filtering in SQL keeps every page a full page.
  • ?limit=/?offset= are bounded at 1–200 and 0–2147483647, matching maxTripListLimit. The offset ceiling exists because the paged queries take an int32 offset; without it a larger value wraps negative and Postgres turns a bad request into a 500.

Shared pagination vocabulary

tripsPageSize/maxTripsPage are now adminPageSize/maxAdminPage, and the ?page= parsing all three pages need is adminPageNumber. Three list pages with the same page size shouldn't carry three copies of the same constant. The prev/next markup moved to web/templates/layout/pagination.html and is shared by all three views. Trips' rendered behaviour is unchanged.
The JSON endpoints define their own defaultListLimit/maxListLimit mirroring defaultTripListLimit/maxTripListLimit; handleListTrips keeps its own copy of the parsing rather than putting an unrelated handler in this diff. Folding it into parseListPageParams is a clean follow-up.

Not included

  • No migration. This PR needs none.
  • The users page's per-user assignment lookup is an N+1, but admin_page_handlers.go:615-619 documents it as an intentional tradeoff at admin scale, and I have no evidence the scale assumption changed. Left alone. Paginating the page bounds it as a side effect — from once per user in the table to at most adminPageSize per request — and TestUsersPage_AssignmentQueriesBoundedByPageSize pins that.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added pagination to admin vehicle, user, and trip lists, with Previous/Next navigation.
    • Added pagination support to vehicle and user API list responses using limit and offset parameters.
    • Added filtering for inactive vehicles while paging.
    • Added safeguards against excessively large list requests and clearer current-page counts.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved list ordering for consistent results across pages.
    • Invalid pagination parameters are now rejected with an appropriate error response.

ListVehicles and ListUsers had no LIMIT: every request marshalled the whole
table. Every :many query added since ListVehiclesByUser carries LIMIT 1000
under a "safety bound; not pagination" comment; these two predate that
convention, so bring them in line.

Add ListVehiclesPage/ListUsersPage for the callers that want one page at a
time, plus ListActiveVehiclesPage so the admin list's include_inactive filter
runs in SQL — filtering after the fetch would shrink a page below the page
size instead of returning a full page.

ORDER BY created_at DESC alone is not a total order: two rows created in the
same second can tie, and LIMIT/OFFSET paging over a tie can skip or repeat a
row. The id tiebreaker makes the order total, which also makes the 1000-row
truncation deterministic.

Regenerated with sqlc v1.31.1, matching the version stamped on the existing
generated files.
ListVehicles and ListUsers keep their signatures. Four call sites legitimately
need the whole list — the dashboard's label map, the assignment dropdown, the
trips filter dropdown and the live map — and forcing limit/offset on them
would silently truncate all four. So the paginating callers get new
ListVehiclesPage/ListUsersPage behind VehiclePager/UserPager instead, matching
the narrow single-purpose interfaces the admin UI already uses.

ListVehiclesPage takes includeInactive so the admin list's filter runs in SQL,
and the API endpoint (which has always listed deactivated vehicles) can ask
for everything.

The existing TestStore_ListVehicles/TestStore_ListUsers are untouched and
still pass; that is the proof the signatures held.
Both endpoints returned the whole table. They now take limit/offset with the
same rules as handleListTrips — default 50, max 200, reusing parseOptionalInt
— via a shared parseListPageParams so the two new endpoints don't carry two
copies of the same validation.

The offset ceiling is not cosmetic: the paged queries take an int32 offset, so
without it a larger value wraps negative and Postgres turns a bad request into
a 500.

The response stays a bare JSON array. Wrapping it with has_more (as the trips
and location-history endpoints do) would break existing consumers and OneBusAway#81's
documented schema, so this chooses compatibility over consistency;
TestHandleList*_StillReturnsBareArray pins that choice.
OneBusAway#92 built paging for /admin/trips and the other two list pages never got it.
They now use the same limit+1 HasMore trick, the same prev/next markup and the
same page-URL helpers.

Three pages sharing one page size shouldn't carry three copies of the
constant, so tripsPageSize/maxTripsPage become adminPageSize/maxAdminPage and
the ?page= parsing all three need becomes adminPageNumber. The prev/next
markup moves to a shared layout partial. Trips renders exactly as before.

Vehicle rows now follow the store's newest-first order: sorting a single page
by id would make the page boundaries look arbitrary, since the slices
themselves are cut in created_at order.

Paging the users page also bounds its documented N+1 to at most one assignment
lookup per row on the page, without touching the tradeoff itself.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e6dfd

Admin navigation can loop back to the first page at the maximum page boundary, and a large requested API offset can impose excessive database work. Resolve these pagination bounds before merge.

Stop Next navigation at maxAdminPage.

When page 1,000,000 has more rows, these handlers set HasMore and generate page=1000001. adminPageNumber maps that value to page 1. The Next link then returns the user to the first page.

Set a practical maxListOffset.

math.MaxInt32 only makes int32(offset) safe. It accepts ?offset=2147483647. The ordered SQL queries must process skipped rows before they return at most 200 rows. On a large users or vehicles table, one request can consume significant database capacity. Use a product-sized offset maximum, or use cursor pagination. Update the maximum-boundary tests with the new limit.

This is clean work. I checked the parts I care most about myself.

No injection surface: all five queries are sqlc definitions with ORDER BY created_at DESC, id DESC as a static literal and LIMIT $1 OFFSET $2 as real pgx parameters. No user-controlled sort column anywhere. Clamping is right too — parseListPageParams 400s on limit outside 1..200 and offset outside 0..MaxInt32, so ?limit=1000000 is rejected and the int32 conversion can't wrap negative. That's stricter than handleListTrips, which only bounds the lower end.

The detail I liked: pushing include_inactive into SQL via ListActiveVehiclesPage rather than filtering in Go after the fetch. Filtering after would have made hasMore lie about a partly-filtered page, and it's an easy mistake to make. Adding the id tiebreaker so the 1000-row safety bound always truncates the same rows is the same kind of thinking.

One product call I want to flag rather than block on: /api/v1/admin/vehicles and /api/v1/admin/users now return 50 rows by default in a bare array with no has_more, no count, and no Link header, where they previously returned everything. A client can only detect truncation by noticing len == limit. You called this out in the PR body and offered the wrapped response as a follow-up — let's do that follow-up, since silent truncation is the failure mode nobody notices until they're missing data.

…st Go structs

Both review findings, plus the routes and parameters that landed while the
branch waited.

User.active was missing. UserResponse marshals it unconditionally, so it is
present in all four responses that reference the User schema, and `required`
was wrong as written. It arrived with the OneBusAway#92 batch this branch was already
catching up on.

The q parameter claimed to search "vehicle, driver, and route fields". The
predicate is (u.name OR t.route_id OR t.gtfs_trip_id), so it named a field
that is not searched and omitted one that is. A caller searching q for a
vehicle id got an empty page instead of reaching for vehicle_id.

Both slipped through because the guards pinned routes and constraints but
never the schema bodies. TestOpenAPI_SchemaPropertiesMatchStructs closes
that: for each response schema it compares the property set against the Go
struct's json tags and requires every unconditionally-marshalled field to be
listed in `required`. Removing active from the spec now fails it, as does
adding a Go field without documenting it, or marking an omitempty field
required. Only response schemas are mapped — a request schema describes what
a client may send, which is not always the shape the server decodes into.

Rebasing onto e8100b7 brought more: GET /api/v1/admin/trips/{id} from OneBusAway#80,
its user_id filter, and limit/offset on the two admin list endpoints from
OneBusAway#99. The list endpoints answer 400 on a bad page and still return a bare
array, so that is documented rather than implied. defaultListLimit,
maxListLimit, and maxListOffset join the pinned constants; maxListOffset is
math.MaxInt32 because a larger offset wraps negative and surfaces as a 500.

The go.mod conflict was OneBusAway#95's pgx and x/text bumps against the yaml.v3
promotion — took main's versions, kept yaml.v3 direct.
