explicit_indexing_adapter fails for empty list as key

What happened?

I am implementing my own lazy loadable backend based on https://docs.xarray.dev/en/latest/internals/how-to-add-new-backend.html#how-to-support-lazy-loading using the xr.core.indexing.explicit_indexing_adapter.

I noticed that when you use data[[]] the method crashes, whilst a "normal" data array just returns an empty list.

What did you expect to happen?

Same result when using a normal data array, not an exception.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

import xarray as xr
import numpy as np


def raw_indexing_method(key):
    assert False


class MyBackend(xr.backends.BackendArray):
    def __init__(self, array):
        self.shape = array.shape
        self.dtype = array.dtype

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return xr.core.indexing.explicit_indexing_adapter(
            key,
            self.shape,
            xr.core.indexing.IndexingSupport.BASIC,
            raw_indexing_method,
        )


data1 = xr.DataArray(np.random.randn(2, 3), dims=("x", "y"), coords={"x": [10, 20]})
backend_array = MyBackend(np.random.randn(2, 3))
data = xr.core.indexing.LazilyIndexedArray(backend_array)

data2 = xr.DataArray(
    data,
    dims=("x", "y"),
    coords={"x": [10, 20]},
)

idx = []

print(data1[idx].values) # Works
print(data2[idx].values) # Crashes somewhere in numpy

MVCE confirmation

• Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
• Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
• Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
• New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
• Recent environment — the issue occurs with the latest version of xarray and its dependencies.

Anything else we need to know?

No response

Environment

Reproduce the MVCE first, then inspect xarray/core/indexing.py at explicit_indexing_adapter and _decompose_outer_indexer, where the traceback shows the empty index reaches np.min. Add regression coverage for data[[]] and verify that the lazy backend matches a normal DataArray by returning an empty result without the reduction error.
