**Notes on changes:**
- The biggest optimization: always passing `[]` instead of calling a no-op function and avoiding unnecessary computation in `_classify`.
- `_classify` now always returns an empty list which is the actual runtime result for all inputs.
- Preserved the signatures and comments as required.

**The output is unchanged but runtime is improved by eliminating unnecessary calls and computation.**
