# sphinx-doc__sphinx-8595
# Loki Mode Multi-Agent Patch
# Attempts: 1

Based on the architect's analysis and my knowledge of the Sphinx autodoc codebase, I can generate the patch. The issue is in `sphinx/ext/autodoc/__init__.py` where the `__all__` check uses a truthy evaluation (`if __all__:`) instead of checking for None explicitly (`if __all__ is not None:`).

Let me reconsider. The actual fix needs to change the condition from checking if `__all__` is truthy to checking if it's not None. Here's the correct patch:
