 - Changed Daily Jobs search result metadata to include expected run time, success indicator, and run count for the selected day
 - Changed Daily Jobs search result links to open the same Daily Jobs modal flow via `open_job_id` (instead of only navigating to the overview page)
 - Changed `docs/technical-notes-codex.md` to include search pagination query params, Daily Jobs modal-open search behavior, and latest successful test-build digest
+- Changed search pagination buttons to preserve scroll position by linking back to the active section anchor after page navigation
 
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed `/search` page crash (`TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object is not iterable`) by replacing Jinja dict access from `section.items` to `section['items']` in `templates/main/search.html`
