The Runaway Query
The admin users page works perfectly with a small dataset
The bug report
You get the whole project — a React front end, an Express API, and Mongoose models — opened in a browser editor. Reproduce the symptom by reading the code, change what’s wrong, and run the hidden tests to prove it.
What the fix must prove
- caps the default directory page at fifty users
- serves the requested page at the requested size
- includes paging metadata for the table
- requires the admin key for the directory
- honors a larger request without lifting the cap
