Does Terramate intend to add native pagination options like `--limit` and `--offset` to the `terramate list` command?

Users need a way to retrieve only a portion of the stack list from a Terramate project that contains hundreds or thousands of stacks, avoiding the overhead of post‑processing the full output with tools such as jq or head.
Because the `terramate list` command currently provides no native pagination flags and the internal order depends on a depth‑first filesystem traversal that can differ between case‑sensitive and case‑insensitive environments, it is unclear whether the project plans to introduce `--limit` and `--offset` options or to guarantee a stable ordering for paginated queries.
What are the risks to automation scripts if pagination remains an external concern? How might variations in filesystem traversal order affect the consistency of paginated results across different operating systems? Does Terramate intend to add built‑in pagination support to the `list` command in a future release?
