[lint-monster] String Empty Check Style: Replace len(s) == 0

[github-actions]

Issue Summary

The custom linter has identified 56 instances across the codebase where len(s) == 0 is used to check for empty strings. The idiomatic Go style is to use s == "" instead.

Findings

• Count: 56 violations
• Primary packages: pkg/cli, pkg/console, pkg/parser, pkg/stringutil, pkg/gitutil
• Pattern: All violations use len(s) == 0 which should be s == ""

Affected Files (Sample)

• pkg/cli/validators.go
• pkg/cli/yaml_frontmatter_utils.go (4 instances)
• pkg/console/input.go
• pkg/gitutil/gitutil.go
• pkg/stringutil/fuzzy_match.go (2 instances)
• pkg/parser/github_urls.go
• pkg/parser/import_directive.go

Remediation

Replace all len(s) == 0 with s == "" across these packages. Simple find-and-replace or automated codemod can resolve this entire group.

Expected Outcome

All 56 instances updated; make golint-custom passes this check.
