+# Collect all completed runs across workflows.

+# `gh run list` returns newest-first and silently stops at --limit, so a
+# workflow busier than the limit drops the *oldest* runs in the window and the
+# totals below under-report with nothing marking the shortfall. The limit is
+# per workflow, not per report, so it only has to clear the busiest one; a
+# repo's chattiest workflow can run several times an hour, and at this script's
+# own documented 168 h default that already reaches the high hundreds. Capped
+# at 1000 because that is the ceiling: the Actions runs endpoint stops
+# paginating there whatever `total_count` says, so a larger constant is
+# unreachable and would only make the guard below unable to fire.
+#
+# Warn rather than trust, in both directions. A count landing on the limit is
+# the only symptom of truncation visible without re-querying `.total_count`,
+# and a failed fetch is the same silent under-report at full strength: it drops
+# every run of that workflow, and a length of 0 is not an exact-limit hit, so
+# the truncation guard alone would pass straight over it.
