```golang
func (module *KafkaClient) processConsumerOffsetsMessage(msg *sarama.ConsumerMessage) {
logger := module.Log.With(
zap.String("offset_topic", msg.Topic),
zap.Int32("offset_partition", msg.Partition),
zap.Int64("offset_offset", msg.Offset),
)
if len(msg.Value) == 0 {
// Tombstone message - we don't handle them for now
logger.Debug("dropped tombstone")
return
}
```
when the msg is nil ,the logger initialize cause a panic。

Research direction
Start with core/internal/consumer/kafka_client.go at processConsumerOffsetsMessage around line 234, then inspect its callers at partitionConsumer and startKafkaConsumer. Reproduce or test the nil-message path and verify that processing a nil message no longer panics while the existing tombstone handling remains unchanged.
