+ * Paging for a table, over rows already in hand.
+ *
+ * ── Why client-side ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * Fiesta pages properly — `pageno` genuinely shifts the window, verified
+ * against `getorders`. What it does NOT return is a total: the envelope carries
+ * `code`, `details`, `message`, `status` and nothing else. So a server-paged
+ * table could offer next/prev and never honestly say "of 12 pages", and could
+ * not tell a last page from an empty one until it fetched it.
+ *
+ * Every list here already fetches a bounded window (200 rows, 500 for the
+ * customer book) and renders all of it. Paging that window client-side gives a
+ * real total, real page numbers, instant page turns, and works identically for
+ * the tables that have no server paging at all — grouped dispatch stops,
+ * reports, anything derived. When a table outgrows its fetch window the answer
+ * is to raise the window or move that ONE table to cursor paging with
+ * `hasMore`, not to make every table pretend.
+ *
+ * ── What this hook is actually for ──────────────────────────────────────────
+ *
+ * The slicing is the trivial part. The part worth having in one place, tested,
+ * is what happens when the rows underneath change — which is where hand-rolled
+ * paging goes wrong: you filter down to three results while on page 5 and the
