Pull request overview
Updates CLI configuration loading to treat empty (or whitespace-only) YAML config files as “not present”, preventing schema validation failures when users intentionally leave config blank.
Changes:
- Skip parsing Code Security (
v1) and legacy config files when file contents are empty/whitespace-only. - Remove the explicit error previously raised for an empty legacy config file.
- Add a unit test ensuring empty config files are ignored.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

What problem are you trying to solve?
Static analysis currently fails if an empty configuration file is encountered. While technically invalid (i.e. doesn't pass schema validation), an empty file should be ignored, as the intent is clearly to not have any configuration.
What is your solution?
Only attempt to parse the file as a configuration if it isn't empty.
