fix(seed): handle empty databases.csv and add unit tests

- Gracefully handle empty databases.csv by creating header columns and emitting a warning
- Add _empty_df() helper for consistent DataFrame initialization
- Add unit tests for baudolo-seed including empty-file regression case
- Apply minor formatting fixes across backup and e2e test files
