-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
The function `get_system_username()` silently returns an empty string when
exceptions occur (ImportError, KeyError, OSError).
This may make debugging difficult and can lead to unexpected downstream
behavior where an empty username is treated as valid.
### Expected behavior
It might be helpful to at least log this situation (e.g., at debug level)
to improve visibility.
### Context
This behavior occurs in environments where `getpass.getuser()` fails
(e.g., restricted systems or missing passwd entries).
