API default/result semantics
Shopify GraphQL count limit argument null count 10000 limit null
Generated query builder cannot express the new null limit without regeneration/manual query.
Agent Quick Fix
Repair against the current Shopify GraphQL counts contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.
Product: Shopify GraphQL counts
Current-contract area: Client schema generated before count limit argument exists
Likely root cause: Generated query builder cannot express the new null limit without regeneration/manual query.
Repair direction: Verifier checks complete results or an intentional cap with correct pagination. Check both uncapped and intentionally capped use cases.Symptom
Generated query builder cannot express the new null limit without regeneration/manual query.
Why This Happens
The query shape remains valid but server defaults change completeness or meaning; local tests with small data sets cannot reveal truncation.
Common Wrong Fixes
- Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
- Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
- Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
