Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Recent Commands tab on the Device admin page shows all matching commands in a single stacked inline, which becomes impractical for devices with many commands. The current hardcoded limit (30 commands, 7-day window) was a stopgap, but removing these limits without pagination would result in an extremely long page.
Describe the solution you'd like
Investigate and implement a way to display the Recent Commands with pagination instead of loading all records at once.
The goal is to remove the hardcoded limits and show all commands for a device in a paginated, browsable interface while keeping the tab integrated into the existing Device admin workflow.

Research direction
Start by locating the Device admin page and its Recent Commands tab, then trace the current query and the hardcoded 30-command and 7-day limits. Implement pagination while keeping the tab in the existing Device admin workflow; done means all matching commands can be browsed in pages without loading them into one long list.
