Duplicate Code: Identical EmptyCard and InitialCard Widget Classes

## Summary

Two widget classes (`EmptyCard` and `InitialCard`) contain identical code with only their class names differing. These 17-line files are exact duplicates and represent unnecessary code duplication.

## Duplication Details

### Pattern: Identical Widget Classes
- **Severity**: Medium
- **Occurrences**: 2 instances
- **Locations**:
- `lib/ui/widgets/empty_card.dart` (lines 1-17)
- `lib/ui/widgets/initial_card.dart` (lines 1-17)

- **Code Sample**:
``````dart
// Both files contain the exact same structure:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class EmptyCard extends StatelessWidget { // InitialCard in the other file
const EmptyCard({
Key? key,
}) : super(key: key);

`@override`
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: const [],
),
);
}
}
``````

### Diff Analysis
The only difference between these files is the class name:
- `EmptyCard` vs `InitialCard`
- Constructor name: `const EmptyCard({` vs `const InitialCard({`

## Impact Analysis

- **Maintainability**: Any changes to the widget structure must be duplicated across both files
- **Bug Risk**: If one widget needs updates, developers might forget to update the other
- **Code Bloat**: 17 unnecessary lines of duplicated code
- **Confusion**: Two separate classes serve the same purpose with no functional difference

## Refactoring Recommendations

### Option 1: Single Parameterized Widget (Recommended)
Create a single `PlaceholderCard` widget that serves both purposes:

``````dart
// lib/ui/widgets/placeholder_card.dart
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class PlaceholderCard extends StatelessWidget {
const PlaceholderCard({
Key? key,
}) : super(key: key);

`@override`
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: const [],
),
);
}
}
``````

Then update usage sites:
- Replace `EmptyCard()` with `PlaceholderCard()` in `lib/ui/pages/home.dart:77`
- Replace `InitialCard()` with `PlaceholderCard()` in `lib/ui/pages/home.dart:75`

**Benefits**:
- Eliminates duplicate code
- Single source of truth for placeholder UI
- Easier to maintain and extend

**Estimated effort**: 15 minutes

### Option 2: Type Aliases (Alternative)
If semantic distinction is important, create one implementation and alias:

``````dart
// lib/ui/widgets/placeholder_card.dart
class PlaceholderCard extends StatelessWidget { /* implementation */ }

// lib/ui/widgets/empty_card.dart
export 'placeholder_card.dart' show PlaceholderCard as EmptyCard;

// lib/ui/widgets/initial_card.dart
export 'placeholder_card.dart' show PlaceholderCard as InitialCard;
``````

**Note**: This maintains backward compatibility but doesn't truly eliminate duplication.

### Option 3: Add Distinguishing Content
If these widgets should be different, add actual content to distinguish them:

``````dart
// Empty state: Show "No issues found" message
// Initial state: Show loading indicator or welcome message
``````

## Implementation Checklist

- [ ] Review duplication findings
- [ ] Choose refactoring approach (recommend Option 1)
- [ ] Create unified `PlaceholderCard` widget
- [ ] Update import statements in `home.dart`
- [ ] Replace `EmptyCard` and `InitialCard` usage
- [ ] Delete duplicate files
- [ ] Update widget barrel export in `lib/ui/widgets/widgets.dart`
- [ ] Run tests to verify no functionality broken
- [ ] Consider adding actual content to distinguish states
