the new Unadmitted clause in Empty is the one surviving mutation because Empty has no production caller

Found by the round-2 adversarial ruthless review of build/itd-189, and it is the ONE survivor out of twenty-two mutations the reviewer ran against this branch's new guards. Twenty-one died.

Deleting len(r.Unadmitted) == 0 from Empty() (readingoutstanding.go:195) leaves both internal/core/lint and internal/surface/cli green.

No failure today: Empty() has NO PRODUCTION CALLER -- only reading_outstanding_test.go:313 -- so the clause is correct-but-unreachable rather than wrong. It becomes a real silence the day a surface gates rendering on Empty(), which is exactly the kind of latent hole that is cheap now and expensive later.

The pre-existing dead method is not this branch's doing; the untested new clause is.
