      summary: Page observations of an audit
      description: Supply limit or cursor to opt into bounded pages ordered by immutable created_at then ID descending. Filter-only and queryless requests retain the legacy complete response.

Paged lists include rule results but omit artifacts; use the observation detail endpoint for retained artifact metadata.
