## TL;DR

The agent's pagination loop exits one page early (checking `page < total_pages` instead of following `next` links), so the last page of files is never reviewed. Loop until the API returns no next page.

## Error

```text
Agent reviewed 198 of 247 files  -  the final page (49 files) was never fetched.
```

## Steps

1. Confirm the gap: compare the agent's reviewed file list with the PR's files-changed count. Expected: exactly one page missing at the end.
2. Fix the loop: follow the `Link: rel=next` header (REST) or `pageInfo.hasNextPage` (GraphQL) until exhausted  -  never compute page counts by hand. Expected: every page is fetched.
3. Add an assertion: the fetched file count must equal the PR's `changed_files` total. Expected: a mismatch fails loudly instead of silently skipping.
4. Re-run on a multi-page PR. Expected: all files reviewed.

## When to use

- The agent reviews fewer files than the PR changed, missing the tail.
- The PR has more files than one API page.

## When not to use

- Files are missing from the middle  -  that is a different bug (filtering, not pagination).
- The agent uses webhooks that already carry the full list; pagination does not apply.

## Tool compatibility

- GitHub REST (Link headers) / GraphQL (pageInfo).
- Any paginating agent.

## Variant phrasings

### Same bug in comment pagination

Apply the follow-next-links pattern to every paginated call, not just files.

### GraphQL cursor pagination

Cursors are opaque strings  -  pass `endCursor` back verbatim; never compute them.

## Why it happens

Hand-rolled page math (`for page in range(total//per_page)`) drops the remainder page whenever the count is not an exact multiple. Following the API's own next-links cannot have this bug.

## Edge cases

- The `changed_files` count includes renamed-file pairs as one  -  compare carefully in the assertion.
- per_page maximums differ per endpoint; request the max to reduce pages, but still follow next links.
