Agent Quick Fix

The query shape remains valid but server defaults change completeness or meaning; local tests with small data sets cannot reveal truncation.

Product: Shopify GraphQL counts
Current-contract area: Migration to uncapped count requires explicit limit:null
Likely root cause: A reconciliation job undercounts large shops only.
Repair direction: Verifier checks complete results or an intentional cap with correct pagination. Check both uncapped and intentionally capped use cases.
