What is the checklist for building a pagination component in an interview?
Core (page numbers, prev/next, ellipsis, total pages, slice/fetch, page size selector), advanced (first/last, keyboard, URL state, loading, reset on filter), accessibility (ARIA, aria-current), CSS (flex, active, disabled, hover), and testing (navigate, boundaries, ellipsis, reset).

Page numbers with current page highlighted, prev/next buttons (disabled at boundaries), ellipsis for many pages, total pages calculation, and data slicing for the current page. These are the minimum required features.
Jump to first/last page, keyboard navigation (arrow keys), URL state (?page=3), loading state for server-side, page size selector, and resetting page on filter/search change. These show depth.
Test navigating to next/prev, clicking page numbers, verifying prev is disabled on page 1, next is disabled on last page, ellipsis shows for many pages, and page resets to 1 on filter change. Test each feature and boundary.
