Feature: a `list-all` (auto-paginating) action for the forgejo surface

ward-kdl ops forgejo issue list already exposes the raw Forgejo paging primitives --page (1-based) and --limit (page size) - the params coily's hand-rolled issue list never had. So the missing piece is no longer a flag; it is the loop.

The composite-verb DSL today (cmd/ward-kdl/ward-kdl.forgejo.guardfile.kdl) has two step types:

call <verb> - one granted call, threading $step.field data forward.
poll <verb> - re-run the same call on an interval until a JMESPath condition holds, keeping the last result (used by ci-watch).

Neither accumulates across iterations. There is no step that walks --page and concatenates the page results into one collection. So a whole-backlog fetch still forces every caller to hand-loop pages outside ward-kdl.

Ask

Add a list-all action on the forgejo surface that pages the granted list issue leaf and concatenates results until exhaustion - stop when a page returns fewer than --limit items, or gate on X-Total-Count. Inputs mirror issue list (owner, repo, --state, --labels, ...) minus --page.

Prefer generalizing the mechanism over a one-off: a reusable paginate / collect step type in the action DSL (loop a list leaf over an incrementing page param, accumulate into one array) would serve every paginated list leaf - issues, PRs, tasks, org members - not just this one.

Consumer

agentic-os goose-triage (scripts/goose-triage.py) fetches open issues via coily ops forgejo issue list, which caps at 50 with no page flag, so on a backlog >50 it triages and now applies labels over a partial set and only warns. Once its fetch migrates onto ward-kdl ops forgejo issue list-all, that cap and the partial-backlog warning both go away. See agentic-os docs/goose-triage.md.

Moved from coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os#241 (originally scoped as a goose-triage-local page loop; the real fix is this ward-kdl primitive).
