Public API: project work-items list ignores ?page= and never terminates pagination (v1.3.0)

Describe the bug

On the public REST API, the project work-items list endpoint does not paginate: the ?page= query parameter is ignored and every page returns the same first per_page results, while the pagination metadata (total_pages, next_page_results) advertises that more pages exist. There is also no usable next link/cursor in the response to advance with.

As a result, an API consumer cannot retrieve any work item beyond the first page, and a client that follows next_page_results will loop forever (re-fetching the identical first page), because next_page_results is always true.

Endpoint

GET /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_slug}/projects/{project_id}/work-items/?per_page=100&page=N

(authenticated with an X-API-Key)

Steps to reproduce

In a project with more than per_page work items (e.g. ~290 items, per_page=100), request several page numbers and compare the returned item IDs:

Every page number — including page=200, far past total_pages=3 — returns the exact same 100 rows, with next_page_results: true and no terminating signal.

Expected behavior

Either:

• ?page=N should return the Nth page of results (distinct items), and next_page_results/total_pages should reflect the true end (so page 4+ returns an empty/short page or 404), or
• if the endpoint is cursor-paginated only, it should provide a usable next cursor/link and stop advertising next_page_results: true once the final page is reached — and ideally document that ?page= is not supported.

Currently neither holds: ?page= is silently ignored, next_page_results never becomes false, and no next cursor is returned, so there is no correct way to page through results.

Impact

The paginated list API is effectively capped at the first per_page items. Any integration that enumerates work items (sync, export, reporting, automation) either silently misses everything past page 1 or hangs in an infinite pagination loop.

Environment

• Deployment: self-hosted (Docker, via Coolify)
• APP_RELEASE: v1.3.0 (makeplane/plane-backend:v1.3.0, makeplane/plane-frontend:v1.3.0)
• Access: public REST API (/api/v1) with a workspace API token

Start by reproducing GET /api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_slug}/projects/{project_id}/work-items/?per_page=100&page=N and trace the public REST API work-items list entry point. Compare results and pagination metadata across page values, then verify that distinct pages are returned and pagination stops at the final page.
