Test a custom input to verify an edge case (e.g. empty lists, negative numbers, duplicates).
This bug belongs to the logic errors pattern
The wrong operator, an inverted condition, a formula the right way round but backwards.
What went wrong: Integer division (//) truncates down to the nearest integer, leaving remainder items without a page.
The fix: Use math.ceil to round up any remainder: math.ceil(total_items / page_size)
Remember: In Python pagination, always round division up to ensure remainder items are rendered.
The pattern behind it: logic errors.
