Runtime error

Problem

Space crashes with ReadTimeoutError when loading leaderboard submissions, followed by AssertionError at line 514.

Solution

Added robust error handling for empty/missing leaderboard data:

• Created get_empty_leaderboard_df() helper function in app.py to return an empty DataFrame with proper column structure
• Modified refresh_leaderboard_data() to gracefully fall back to empty DataFrame when data is unavailable
• Updated leaderboard initialization to display a friendly warning message when no data exists
• Enhanced get_leaderboard_df() in populate.py to handle missing datasets and "default-only" configs by returning empty DataFrame instead of crashing
