fix: address CI test failure and add empty-session error message

- Fix latest_session_alias_resolves_most_recent_managed_session test:
  the test created sessions with 0 messages, which are now filtered out
  by the message_count > 0 check in latest_session_excluding(). Updated
  the test to call push_user_text() before saving so sessions have
  at least one message and are findable by /resume latest.

- Add distinct error message when all sessions are empty (0 messages).
  Previously, the same "no managed sessions found" message was returned
  whether there were zero sessions or all sessions had 0 messages. Now:
  - No sessions at all → "no managed sessions found in {path}. Start
    claw to create a session..."
  - Sessions exist but all empty → "all sessions are empty (0 messages)
    in {path}. This usually means a fresh claw session is running but
    no messages have been sent yet. Wait for a response in your other
    session, then try --resume latest again."

- Add test for the all-sessions-empty error path.

  Addresses reviewer feedback on #3216.
