==================
AgileData.io - Bug Fix: Better Empty File Handling

We refined how the platform detects and handles empty files, making the process more accurate and user-friendly.

**What changed:**

* Improved empty file detection to allow up to 750 bytes for header-only files
* Enhanced messaging to users when empty files are detected
* Better differentiation between truly empty files and small valid files

**What we did:**

* Updated the file size threshold for empty file detection
* Improved notification messages to provide clearer guidance on empty file scenarios
* Persisted empty file records for validation and troubleshooting

**What this means for you:**

* More accurate detection of truly problematic empty files
* Clearer feedback when files are rejected as empty
* Reduced false positives on file validation
