Subject: [PATCH] fix(empty-state): replace misleading hint with an actual
 create button
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The no-lists empty state said 'Tap the list name above to create one' —
but there is no list name above, just a static 'Tasks' label. The
actual affordance (+ New list) lives in the drawer, which may not be
open. Add a primary-button shortcut that opens the drawer and puts
focus in the new-list input in one click. Google Tasks workspaces are
read-only so they still get the explanatory text instead.
