Default Risk of getting air in brake lines through master cylinder under hard cornering?

Stupid question. My brake pads are worn, although not to the wear groove yet. Shoes are in good shape. ALL brake hardware is new, NO leaks anywhere, firm pedal. Zero braking issues... until today. Hard driving the brake indicator light on the dash comes on under hard right turns (maybe left too, havent taken one hard since).

I realized it was because of low fluid. My MC reservoir is on the "MIN" side of good, I can add fluid and take it out when I replace the pads if need be, just wondering if I run any risk of introducing air in the line through the MC.

No there's no risk of getting air in the system if you are at or above the min line. You would have to get the fluid level almost perpendicular to ground level to get air in your MC.I've had this happen a few times on track due to low pads and noticed the light pop on. Toss some fluid in
