For the empty-state case, I would make the cause visible before polishing the sentence. The simplest pattern is: - no data yet: invite the first action - filtered out: name the active filter - failed load: name the retry path Example: "No saved items yet. Save one from a result page." "No items match Status: archived." "Could not load items. Retry or check connection." These are not just copy variants. They tell the user whether to create, change a filter, or retry. If all three say "Nothing found", the interface pushes the user into guessing.
