Research direction

Start by reading the linked supervision issue #1226, which the report identifies as a prerequisite, then inspect how empty sv.Detections values are handled in workflows. Done means additional metadata can be set and retained when no bounding boxes are detected, with the induced workflow issues covered by verification.
