Documented steps

  1. Request a page with the `first` argument (page size) and, for later pages, `after` set to the previous page's endCursor — e.g. issues(first: 50, after: "<cursor>").
  2. Without arguments, Linear returns the first 50 results by default, ordered by createdAt.
  3. Use `orderBy: updatedAt` if you need most-recently-modified items first instead of the createdAt default.
  4. Select `pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }` alongside either the simplified `nodes { ... }` list or the full `edges { node cursor }` form.
  5. Loop: pass the current page's endCursor into the next request's `after` argument and stop once pageInfo.hasNextPage is false.
  6. For reverse iteration, use `last` and `before` instead of `first`/`after`.
