+### Fixed

+- **Empty text send logged the account out.** `MessageMethods.send()` now drops
+  an empty (or whitespace-only) body instead of firing an
+  `IGDirectTextSendMutation` with an empty `sensitive_string_value`. Instagram
+  answers that with a 302 to the login page, which the HTTP layer classifies as
+  `IG_SESSION_INVALID`, so a command that built an empty reply (for example
+  `adduser` handed a username it could not resolve) made the poller stop and
+  report the session as dead. The dropped send returns
+  `{ messageID: null, dropped: "empty" }`.
