  - `page` CursorPage, required
    - `offset` integer, required
    - `limit` integer, required
    - `has_more` boolean, required
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable, required: Opaque cursor for the next page, or null on the final page.
    - `snapshot_id` string, required: Corpus snapshot to which this page and cursor are bound.

    - `project_count` integer
    - `generated_at` string, date-time

    - `schema_version` 'git-top.knowledge.v1'
    - `loaded_project_limit` integer: Maximum D1 knowledge or search-candidate rows loaded into the bounded ranking set when present.
    - `truncated` boolean: Whether the D1-backed ranking or candidate set reached its limit and may omit additional matching rows.
    - `candidate_retrieval` 'd1_first': Search-only marker indicating that deterministic filters and broad query matching ran in D1 before TypeScript ranking.
    - `candidate_count` integer: Number of D1 search candidates passed to the authoritative TypeScript filter and ranking stage.
    - `candidate_limit` integer: Maximum number of D1 search candidates passed to the ranking stage.
    - `warnings` string[]: Fallback, count, freshness, or trust caveats that agents should account for before citing results.

## Other responses
