2. **Authoritative history**`fetch_agent_timeline_request` for correctness.

Large unbounded timeline responses can exceed relay frame limits, so catch-up uses bounded pages. Bounded does not mean partial.
Page limits are projected-item targets. A tool call lifecycle is one projected item even if it spans many source sequence numbers, and assistant/reasoning chunks are merged before counting. The response carries `seqStart`, `seqEnd`, `sourceSeqRanges`, and `collapsed` so clients can advance sequence cursors without rendering delta rows.
When the app fetches `direction: "after"` and the daemon responds with `hasNewer: true`, the app must immediately fetch the next page from `endCursor`. The catch-up is complete only when `hasNewer: false`.
The first load of an agent without a local cursor is different: it fetches a bounded latest tail page. Older history remains user-driven by scrolling upward.
