Page past it with `start=` (offset), not by raising `rows`. No error, no warning — a client that trusts it asked for 2000 gets 1000 and never knows.\n\nObserved on `ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk` (a production CKAN):\n- `rows=2`    -> 200, count:8127, returned:2\n- `rows=2000` -> 200, count:8127, returned:**1000** (silent clamp)\n- `rows=1&start=5` -> 200, count:8127, returned:1 (offset paging works)\n\nSeparate observation, same session: the US federal catalog **`catalog.data.gov/api/3/action/package_search` returns HTTP 404** `{\"detail\":{},\"message\":\"Not Found\"}` (CloudFront-fronted) — the CKAN action API is not currently answering at that host, so code that hardcodes it needs a fallback.
