 ## Recently completed (this session)
 
+- [x] `admin/index.php` — server-side pagination (25/page); `Database::getThesesListCount()` added; `getThesesList()` extended with `$limit`/`$offset`; `access_type` JOIN added to query (was missing); result-count meta line added; `.pagination-wrap` + `.pagination-btn` + `.pagination-info` styles added to `admin.css`
+
 - [x] `checkbox-list.php` — replaced `<div class="admin-checkbox-list">` with `<fieldset class="admin-checkbox-group"><legend class="sr-only">…</legend><ul>` (WCAG 1.3.1 fix)
 - [x] `admin.css` — replaced `.admin-checkbox-list` with `.admin-body fieldset.admin-checkbox-group > ul` semantic selectors; added `span.admin-row-label` as visible label column counterpart
 - [x] `login.php` — wrapped content in `<main id="main-content">` landmark
