- Line 261: Move the items_per_page parsing and cap into the if not opt_format
branch so CSV and other export responses do not parse or validate an unused page
size; keep pagination behavior unchanged.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Parse the page size only for paginated responses.
If a client requests ?format=csv&items_per_page=abc, int() raises ValueError before the export branch runs. The export branch does not use items_per_page, so this change makes an otherwise valid export fail. Move the parsing and cap into the if not opt_format branch.
As per coding guidelines, “Minimize scope — smallest correct diff; no drive-by refactors.”

Overview
Enforces the existing
MAX_ITEMS_PER_PAGElimit (100) on thefind_node_by_nameroute handler (/rest/v1/<ntype>/<name>and its route aliases), matching the behavior of the/rest/v1/all_cresendpoint.Problem & Root Cause
MAX_ITEMS_PER_PAGE = 100is defined inapplication/web/web_main.py(line 57) and correctly enforced inall_cres(line 1539). However,find_node_by_namepreviously readitems_per_pagedirectly fromrequest.argsand forwarded the unconstrained value todatabase.get_nodes_with_pagination():This allowed callers to request arbitrary page sizes (e.g.,
?items_per_page=100000), triggering unboundedSELECT ... LIMIT 100000 OFFSET ...queries on the database, causing memory pressure and potential resource exhaustion.Solution
Clamp
items_per_pagetoMAX_ITEMS_PER_PAGEusingmin(), exactly following the established pattern fromall_cres:Changes
