Fix logs command parameter naming confusion in pagination function

[Copilot]

Problem

The listWorkflowRunsWithPagination function had a confusing parameter name that obscured the algorithm's behavior. The parameter was named count, which suggested it represented the total number of matching runs the user wants to find (from the -c flag). However, it was actually used as the batch size for GitHub CLI API calls.

This created ambiguity between two distinct concepts:

1. User's count (from -c flag): Total number of matching workflow runs to find
2. API batch size: Number of runs to fetch per gh run list call

Before

func listWorkflowRunsWithPagination(workflowName string, count int, ...) {
    if count > 0 {
        args = append(args, "--limit", strconv.Itoa(count))
    }
}

When batchSize (100 or 250) was passed as the count parameter, it was unclear whether it represented the user's desired total or the API batch size.

Solution

Renamed the parameter from count to limit to clearly indicate its purpose as the API batch size:

func listWorkflowRunsWithPagination(workflowName string, limit int, ...) {
    if limit > 0 {
        args = append(args, "--limit", strconv.Itoa(limit))
    }
}

Algorithm Behavior

When a user runs ./gh-aw logs -c 10:

1. The outer loop continues until len(processedRuns) >= 10 (the user's count)
2. Each iteration calls listWorkflowRunsWithPagination(workflowName, batchSize, ...)
3. The batchSize (100 or 250) becomes the limit parameter → gh run list --limit 100
4. Downloads up to maxDownloads = count - len(processedRuns) runs from each batch
5. Continues until enough matching runs are found or available data is exhausted

Changes

• pkg/cli/logs.go: Renamed parameter and enhanced documentation
• pkg/cli/logs_filtering_test.go: Added test documenting parameter semantics

This clarification makes the code more maintainable and ensures the algorithm correctly distinguishes between the user's total desired matching runs and the API batch size per request.

Original prompt

The "logs" command download algorithm has the "count" argument confused. "count" is the number of matching workflow matching to find.

However, in the download loop, the algorithm has to run gh run list multiple times to collect enough runs. In this loop, it is incorrectly using the count as the loop counter instead of the match count.

When running ./gh-aw logs -c 10, the current algorithm SHOULD find at last 5 runs currently. If not, there is a bug.
