 ## 2024-07-13 - CLI 출력의 영문법적 복수형 및 에러 메시지 힌트 개선
 **Learning:** CLI 출력에서 `file(s)`, `issue(s)`, `rule(s) excluded`와 같이 괄호를 사용한 복수형 표기법은 가독성을 떨어뜨리고 투박한(developer-centric) 느낌을 줍니다. 또한, 에러 발생 시 단순 예외 내용만 출력하는 것보다 즉시 실행 가능한 해결책(Hint)을 함께 제공하는 것이 CLI 사용자 경험(DX) 향상에 매우 효과적입니다.
 **Action:** 조건부 f-string(예: `s_suffix = "s" if count != 1 else ""`)을 활용하여 동적으로 정확한 복수형 단어(file/files)를 출력하도록 개선하고, 예외 발생 로직에는 항상 `💡 Hint:`를 포함하여 후속 액션을 안내하도록 표준화해야 합니다. (단, Python 3.12 환경의 `black` 포매터 호환성을 위해 백슬래시가 포함된 중첩 f-string 사용을 피하고 변수 추출을 권장합니다.)
+## 2024-05-19 - Actionable Empty States
+**Learning:** Empty states should act as helpful dead-ends with actionable Call-To-Actions (CTAs) rather than passive text. When users encounter an empty state (e.g., no findings loaded, or no search results), providing a direct action like "Browse for file..." or "Clear filters" reduces friction and cognitive load.
+**Action:** When designing or refactoring empty states, always ask "What is the most common action the user needs to take to escape this state?" and provide a native HTML `<button>` to facilitate it. Ensure form inputs are always accompanied by screen-reader accessible `<label>`s, using visually hidden CSS if visual labels are not permitted by design constraints.
