API Development
Why is offset pagination's consistency bug described as 'deterministic, not probabilistic'?
A
It only happens randomly, roughly half the time
B
ANY insertion or deletion before the cursor point between two offset-paginated requests causes exactly a skip or duplicate — it's a guaranteed mechanical consequence, not a rare race condition
C
It never actually happens in real systems
D
It only affects the very first page
