Project zero-based page-index and page-count from a validated controller. Handle navigate(NavigationStep.previous) and .next to load or display a page.

The visible counter starts at one and shows 0 / 0 for an empty collection. Buttons disable at the limits; the view does not fetch remote data itself.
