An edge case have been identified in issue #264 where a pangenome without any existing spots is used in a projection. In this case, the projection process, which predicts spots in the input genome, attempts to retrieve the highest spot ID to determine the appropriate ID for any new spots detected. This leads to an error when no spot IDs are available.
To resolve this, I’ve implemented a check to see if the pangenome contains any spots. If no spots are found, the process will now default to using an ID of 1 for new spots.
