AgileData.io - No False Alarms: Single-Row Files Processed Correctly

Files containing exactly one row of data were being incorrectly flagged as empty during ingestion and skipped. This has been fixed — all files with at least one data row (plus a header) are now processed as expected.

The bug was a boundary condition in the row count check: the logic for detecting empty files didn't account for the case where a file has only a single data row after the header. As a result, perfectly valid single-row files were treated as empty and logged as warnings rather than being ingested.

**What was happening:**

* Files with exactly one data row (header + 1 row) were reported as empty and not processed
* The issue only affected single-row files — files with two or more data rows were unaffected
* Affected files would appear in warning logs as empty rather than showing a successful load

**What this means for you:**

* Single-row files are ingested correctly without warnings or skips
* Small reference files and lookup tables with one entry are handled reliably
* No data loss concerns for pipeline runs that processed these files before the fix
