+# --- Keyset (cursor) pagination ---------------------------------------------
+#
+# Each sort is described as an ordered list of key columns (expression + direction
+# + whether it can be NULL + a JSON round-trip kind), always with Video.id as the
+# final, unique tiebreaker. This drives BOTH the ORDER BY and the keyset WHERE so
+# they can never drift apart — the prerequisite for correct cursor paging. Keyset
+# replaces OFFSET/LIMIT: deep scrolling no longer scans-and-discards skipped rows,
+# and the page boundary is stable even as the scheduler ingests new videos mid-scroll
+# (OFFSET would shift and duplicate/skip rows).
