Empty input is not allowed.

Error message

Empty input is not allowed.

What it means

ValueError raised by the main menu loop when input() returns an empty (whitespace-stripped) string. It is immediately caught by the surrounding `except ValueError`, printing 'Invalid input: Empty input is not allowed.', clearing the screen, and re-prompting — a control-flow error, not a crash.

Solutions

1. Simply re-enter a valid numeric option at the prompt
2. If scripting, feed a valid choice via stdin: `echo 1 | python3 src/main.py`
3. Add a default option or reprompt without stack noise if desired

user_input = input("Select an option: ").strip()
if not user_input.isdigit():
    print("Please enter a number"); continue

When it happens

Trigger: Running src/main.py and pressing ENTER at the 'Select an option:' prompt without typing a number; also triggered by any non-numeric input via int(user_input) raising ValueError.

Common situations: User hitting ENTER accidentally, piping empty lines into the CLI, or automated invocation of main.py without stdin input.
