this queue instance

## Remarks

A no-op that resolves successfully when the queue has no writer connection. In-flight messages held in worker keys under [IMQOptions.safeDelivery](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.imqoptions.safedelivery/) are not removed and may be re-queued by the watcher after their lease expires, so this does not guarantee the queue stays empty. Errors are logged rather than thrown, so success cannot be inferred from a resolved promise.
