Adds `emptyDataIsFailure: true` to all 5 curated-registry seeders in the `seed-bundle-energy-sources` Railway service. File-read-and-validate seeders whose validateFn returns false (stale container, missing data file, shape regression, etc.) MUST leave seed-meta stale rather than stamping fresh `recordCount: 0` via the default `publishResult.skipped` branch in `_seed-utils.mjs:906-917`. Why this matters — observed production incident on 2026-04-23 (post PR #3337 merge): - Subset of Atlas seeders hit the validation-skip path (for reasons involving a Railway container stale vs the merged code + a local Option A run during an intermediate-file-state window). - `_seed-utils.mjs:910` `writeFreshnessMetadata(..., 0, ...)` stamped `seed-meta:energy:pipelines-oil` and `seed-meta:energy:storage-facilities` with fresh `fetchedAt + recordCount: 0`. - Bundle runner's interval gate at `_bundle-runner.mjs:210` reads `fetchedAt` only, not `recordCount`. With `elapsed < 0.8 × 10080min = 8064min`, the gate skipped these 2 sections for ~5.5 days. No canonical data was written; health reported EMPTY; bundle never self-healed. With `emptyDataIsFailure: true`, the strict branch at `_seed-utils.mjs:897-905` fires instead: FAILURE: validation failed (empty data) — seed-meta NOT refreshed; bundle will retry next cycle Seed-meta stays stale, bundle counts it as `failed++`, next cron tick retries. Health flips STALE_SEED within max-stale-min. Operator sees it. Loud-failure instead of silent-skip-with-meta-refresh. Pattern previously documented for strict-floor validators (IMF/WEO 180+ country seeders in `feedback_strict_floor_validate_fail_poisons_seed_meta.md`) — now applied to all 5 Energy Atlas curated registries for the same reasons. No functional change in the healthy path — validation-passing runs still publish canonical + fresh seed-meta as before. Verification: typecheck clean, 6618/6618 data tests pass.
