Description

E.g. in PowerShell, in a non-empty folder, running:

ls | seqcli ingest

Produces:

Ingestion failed: A line arrived late or could not be parsed: ``.
System.IO.InvalidDataException: A line arrived late or could not be parsed: ``.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with ls | seqcli ingest, then inspect src/SeqCli/PlainText/PlainTextLogEventReader.cs around line 36 and the ingestion path shown in the stack trace. Done means default plain-text ingestion no longer fails when the input contains empty lines.
