The list of people to add rendered nothing at all when empty, under a box labelled "Enter name or email". The box looks like a search field but is a filter, so a new account -- which has no contacts, because contacts are derived from shared expenses -- saw a blank dialog, typed a name, watched nothing happen, and had no way to tell whether a list existed at all. Say why the list is empty instead, distinguishing the three reasons so each message is true: no contacts yet, the filter matched nobody, or everyone is already in the group. The reasoning is one shared function so the two dialogs cannot drift apart, and it stays silent while the query is loading rather than briefly claiming you have no contacts. The email button was the way out of the empty state, but it read "Add to Split Pro", which sounds like creating a new account and so gets skipped when the person already has one. Name it after what it does: "Add to Group" and "Add to Expense". Both changes apply to the group dialog and the add-expense picker, which had the same empty state -- a picture with no words -- and the same button. Translation keys are unchanged and only the English values move, since no fallbackLng is configured and a renamed key would surface as a raw key string in the other locales.

Nested describe() per codeRabbit suggesion
|
AI comment on the CodeRabbit suggestions: Nested describes: done. The six tests are now grouped under Loading, NoContacts, Filtering, and AllAdded, as the Test Structure section of AGENTS.md specifies. The tests themselves are unchanged. useMemo: skipped. The function does three boolean checks and returns a string or null. That's cheaper than useMemo's dependency comparison, and there's no object identity to keep stable. In AddMembers the bot's placement also won't work: filteredUsers reads group.groupUsers, so it can't be computed above if (!group) return null. |

Description
Add person to group or expense was confusing in 2 ways.
There is a list of people the user has shared expenses but for new users this is empty. There no visual indication there could be a list or why it is empty.
If the user types a valid e-mail a button "Add to split-pro" is enabled. But I was typing the e-mail of a person already in split-pro, so that was not the action I intended. It now says "add to group"
AI Code
These changes were written by AI. I have reviewed the changes and the look reasonable to me. However, I'm not a typescript developer and unfamiliar with the frameworks in use so don't know if the changes follow best practices.
Closing #750
Demo
These are the changes for add to group. There are similar changes for add to expense
List indication
Before, there is no indication there could be a list
After: there is text indicating why there are no people in a list.
Add to SplitPro -> Add to Group
Before, the button says "add to SplitPro". I found this confusing because the person I was searching for was already in SplitPro.
After, the button says "add to group", which is my intended action.
Everyone already in group
Another reason no one appears in the list. Originally not evident:
Now explained
No Matching Names
Similarly, if there are no matching names, that is displayed.
