--- fixes: - | [`bug 1728907 `_] In some rare cases, an empty key file can get created within the fernet key repository. When keystone tries to load the keys from disk, it will fail with an invalid fernet key ValueError. Keystone now handles empty key files when loading and rotating keys. If an empty file exists, it will be ignored when loaded, reported as a warning in the log, and overwritten with a valid key upon rotation.
