Out-of-bounds page index during reactive dataset filtering in Vue.js

Pagination State Reconciliation

In a Vue.js application managing large datasets, a common pattern involves using computed properties to first filter a master array based on a query and then slice that filtered result for pagination. This ensures the UI remains reactive to both search inputs and page navigation.

A technical challenge arises when the underlying dataset is filtered while the user is positioned on a high page index. If a filter reduces the total number of available results to a count smaller than the current page offset, the computed slice may return an empty array despite results existing on earlier pages.

Given the reactive nature of Vue's state management, what is the standard approach to synchronize the current page index with the dynamic length of a filtered dataset? Should the reset logic reside within a watcher on the filtered computed property, or is there a more performant way to bound the query index?
