SEO-Friendly Pagination URLs for Ditto

A historical plugin pattern for turning `?start=` links into cleaner `/page/N` pagination in Evo.

Ditto pagination worked, but it often produced URLs that were technically correct and aesthetically poor. This plugin pattern cleaned that up by translating query-string pagination into friendlier /page/2-style URLs.

What the plugin did

intercepted pagination requests on OnPageNotFound
translated friendly page paths into the correct Ditto offset
redirected /page/1 back to the canonical base URL
rewrote generated pagination links during OnWebPagePrerender

Why this mattered historically

Clean pagination URLs were a real SEO and UX concern in old Evo builds. This pattern is worth keeping because it shows how much polish the community was willing to add around Ditto when the default output was not enough.
