[BUG] Sponsor Dashboard - Submissions: Wrong message displays

[rknearn-qa]

Summary

On the Sponsor Dashboard, when a user has no submissions but has active listings, the Submissions list page incorrectly shows a prompt suggesting to “Create your first listing.” This is misleading because the user already has active listings; the message should instead reflect the lack of submissions, not listings.

Preconditions:

• User is registered as a Sponsor (https://nearn-app-staging.onrender.com/catgut/).
• Sponsor has at least one active listing.
• Sponsor Dashboard has no submissions.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Log in as a Sponsor.
2. Navigate to the Submissions tab/page on the dashboard.
3. Observe the empty-state message.

Actual Result:

The page displays: “Create your first listing.”

submissions.-.without.anyone.webm

Expected Result:

The empty-state message should accurately reflect the situation:

Suggested: “No submissions yet.”
Avoid prompting to create a listing when active listings already exist.

Special notes:

Possible Root Cause:

The frontend logic for empty-state messages likely checks total listings instead of submissions.

Workarounds: -

Repro rate: Always (10/10)
