 - Fast Setup now sizes each finite CouchDB changes page from a one-row status probe, counts the returned result together with `pending`, and resumes from the page's opaque `last_seq` without comparing token representations. Each page uses a one-second idle timeout instead of a heartbeat, allowing CouchDB 3.2 to return its terminator after the currently available rows have been persisted.
