Research direction

Start by locating the ZMQ adapter and reading the message-serialization path immediately before pushing. Verify how an empty message such as [] and other serialization errors are handled; done means [] no longer raises and serialization failures are surfaced rather than swallowed.

Description

bug

The ZMQ adapter serializes messages before pushing, there are currently two major issues with this: It raises an exception when it gets an empty message (i.e. []) and said exception is swallowed, along with any other serialization errors.
