<context>
The `quotesdb` UI is a Yew (Rust → Wasm) single-page app compiled by Trunk and hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It communicates with the backend API via `fetch` calls. Source lives in `src/bin/ui/`. Run with `trunk serve` for local development.

The Author page (`/author/:name`) shows all quotes by a specific author, paginated.
</context>

<goal>
Implement the Author page component (`src/bin/ui/pages/author.rs`):
1. Extract `:name` from the route
2. Fetch quotes from `GET /api/quotes?author=:name&page=N`
3. Render the author name as a heading
4. Render each quote with `QuoteCard`
5. Render `Pagination` for prev/next navigation
6. Render `ErrorDisplay` on error
</goal>

<constraints>
- Author name in the URL may be URL-encoded — decode it before using in the API call and heading.
- Page is tracked in the URL query string (`?page=N`).
</constraints>

<validation>
From the `quotesdb/` directory:

```sh
trunk build
```
