fix(eval): handle failed inference results without invocations

[he-yufeng]

What changed

• Return a failed EvalCaseResult when inference failed before producing any invocations.
• Preserve the existing session lookup path when a failed inference still has a session id.
• Add a regression test for InferenceResult(status=FAILURE, inferences=None).
• Clean up two existing lint issues in the touched eval test file so the local changed-file ruff check passes.

This prevents the eval runner from replacing the original inference error with TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len().

Fixes #5876

Hi @he-yufeng , Thank you for your contribution! We appreciate you taking the time to submit this pull request. Please fix formatting errors by running autoformat.sh

Thanks for the review. I rebased onto the latest main, ran pyink on the touched files, and also cleaned two existing lint issues in the touched test file so the changed-file checks are clean. Local verification now passes for py_compile, the targeted eval tests, ruff, pyink --check, and git diff --check.

Rebased onto current upstream/main and reran the focused eval validation. Validation: test_local_eval_service.py passed (19 passed); ruff check passed; pyink --check passed; py_compile passed; git diff --check passed. I set PYTHONPATH=src so pytest imports this worktree explicitly.

Rebased this branch onto current upstream/main and force-pushed the cleaned head.

Validation on Windows:

python -m py_compile src\google\adk\evaluation\local_eval_service.py tests\unittests\evaluation\test_local_eval_service.py

# 2 files would be left unchanged
git diff --check upstream/main..HEAD

The local eval test environment needed optional eval dependencies installed in the existing ADK venv (pandas, google-cloud-aiplatform, rouge-score, mcp) before the full focused file could collect and run.

📋 Summary of Findings & Work Completed

1. Core Problem Solved: Resolved evaluation execution crashes (TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()) in the LocalEvalService class when model inference fails completely before spawning any invocations.
2. Implementation Verification:
   • Swapped the unsafe len(inference_result.inferences) check by implementing a robust early guard within _evaluate_single_inference_result.
   • Confirmed this correctly routes the failed job into a cleanly structured, failed EvalCaseResult.
3. Style & Guidelines Compliance:
   • The PR perfectly mirrors Google ADK's development paradigms.
   • Added a well-structured Arrange-Act-Assert behavior test: test_evaluate_single_inference_result_failed_without_inferences.
   • Removed a redundant sys import import block and modernized styling (converting older == None targets to standard is None checks in tests).
4. Recommendation: Approve. Excellent, highly focused contribution.
