FA-76085 / Chat ordering and read receipts / Member archive

Page older history with a composite (ts, id) cursor: cursor point · case 05

The next cursor points at the newest message of the page, so the following page repeats most of it.

Case contract

messages are [ts, id] pairs in any order; ordering is by (ts, id). cursor is None or the exclusive [ts, id] of the oldest message already shown. A page holds the newest `limit` messages strictly older than the cursor, in ascending order; next is the [ts, id] of the page's oldest item when older messages remain, else None.

Why this case matters

Infinite-scroll history must neither skip nor duplicate messages that share a timestamp.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
