Enable detekt rule: EmptyCatchBlock

[AdrianLeeElder]

Summary

Re-enable the EmptyCatchBlock detekt rule under empty-blocks in backend/detekt.yml.

This rule is currently disabled (active: false) together with other rules that had widespread pre-existing violations. We want to turn rules back on incrementally.

Tasks

1. Set EmptyCatchBlock.active to true under the empty-blocks section in backend/detekt.yml (or remove the override if the default is already true).
2. From the backend/ directory, run ./gradlew detekt and fix reported violations. Use ./gradlew detektFormat where it helps for formatting-related fixes.
3. Keep CI green: the build uses maxIssues: 0.

Context

The comment at the top of backend/detekt.yml notes that disabled rules are candidates for incremental cleanup.

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue.
I'll enable the EmptyCatchBlock rule and fix all reported violations.
Could you assign this to me? 🙏
