When do I reshuffle my discard pile, and what if both piles are empty?

The rulebook text covers this directly, and forum replies agree.

Whenever you must draw and the draw pile runs out, even mid-turn: draw what is left, shuffle the discard pile into a new draw pile, and continue. If both are empty you simply draw nothing; played cards never get shuffled in.
