Research direction

The payload names no files or tests. Start by reproducing it: create four spaces in the launcher, remove the last icon from one of them, and confirm the empty space stays. Then search the Kotlin sources for the space-handling code that decides which spaces are shown. Done when the empty space disappears after its last icon is removed, with the existing behaviour kept for other spaces. Six comments and no decision make the expected fix unclear, so check the thread before you start.
