Context

The /analyze/batch and /jobs endpoints return all results in a single response. As the database grows this will degrade performance and response size.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md -- P3 -- "API pagination"

What to do

  1. Implement cursor-based pagination (using after_id query param) or offset-based pagination (page + page_size) on both endpoints.
  2. Return a next_cursor (or total_count + page) field in the response envelope.
  3. Default page_size to 20; cap it at 100.
  4. Update frontend pages that consume these endpoints to support paginated fetching (load-more or pagination controls).
  5. Add tests for paginated responses.

Acceptance criteria

  • GET /jobs?page=1&page_size=10 returns at most 10 results and correct pagination metadata.
  • Requesting a page beyond the last page returns an empty results list, not an error.
  • Response time for large result sets is acceptable (does not full-table-scan).

Already implemented -- closing.

The GET /jobs endpoint in SPARC/api.py (lines 1023-1070) supports cursor-based pagination via:

  • cursor query parameter (opaque created_at|job_id string)
  • limit query parameter (1-100, default 10)
  • Response includes next_cursor field (null when no more results)
  • PaginatedJobsResponse model with items and next_cursor

The DatabaseClient.list_jobs() method in database.py (lines 596-638) implements the keyset pagination with (created_at, job_id) < (%s, %s) ordering.

No further work needed.
