No files provided for sharing.

Error message

No files provided for sharing.

What it means

`buildSharePackage` throws immediately if the caller passes an empty `stubs` array. This is pure input validation — the caller (UI) invoked the share flow with nothing selected.

Solutions

1. Disable the Share action in the UI whenever the selection is empty.
2. In the caller, guard `if (stubs.length === 0) return notify('Select at least one file to share.')` before invoking.
3. Add a type-guard so `buildSharePackage` only receives a non-empty array at the type level.

Example fix

// before
if (stubs.length === 0) {
  throw new Error("No files provided for sharing.");
}

// caller-side guard
async function share(stubs: StirlingFileStub[]) {
  if (stubs.length === 0) {
    notifyUser("Select at least one file to share.");
    return;
  }
  return buildSharePackage(stubs);
}

// Guard before invoking the share flow
if (!stubs || stubs.length === 0) {
  notifyUser("Select at least one file to share.");
  return;
}
await buildSharePackage(stubs);

function hasItems<T>(arr: T[]): arr is [T, ...T[]] {
  return arr.length > 0;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The share button/action was invoked when no files are selected, the selection was cleared between the click and the call, or a filter reduced the stubs list to zero before sharing.

Common situations: Share button not disabled in an empty state; a race where the selection is cleared (e.g. by a re-render) before `buildSharePackage` runs; upstream code computes `stubs` incorrectly and yields `[]`.
