Prevent empty messages from being submitted

[mithilP007]

Problem

The application currently allows users to send empty or whitespace-only messages.

This can create unnecessary API calls and reduce chat quality.

Expected Behavior

• Empty messages should not be submitted
• Send button should remain disabled for blank input
• Show optional validation feedback

Suggested Fix

• Trim input before submission
• Add frontend validation check
• Disable send action if input is empty

Benefits

• Cleaner chat experience
• Reduced unnecessary requests
• Better input validation
