Subject: [PATCH] fix: thread allowEmptySubmit through composer submit path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Create button on the new workspace screen was visible but clicking
it did nothing — submitAgentInput() still rejected empty payloads as
"noop". Thread allowEmptySubmit through Composer into submitAgentInput
so the callback fires and workspace creation + redirect completes.

Adds regression test for the empty-submit path.
