Fix ambiguous series value error when running --report

[marcorosa]

Actual issue

This commit introduced a bug: while it avoids the ZeroDivisionError exception that would be raised if total is =0 for one of the probes, it introduces another bug with the usage of pandas.

How to reproduce

After running a test with some probe, run the report evaluations on the output file.

Python script:

from garak.report import Report
r = Report(report_location='garak.report.jsonl')
r.get_evaluations()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError    
[...] I remove the traceback 

ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

There is also a CLI with -r on the .jsonl result file.

garak -r garak.report.jsonl
garak LLM vulnerability scanner v0.11.0.pre1 ( https://github.com/NVIDIA/garak ) at 2025-04-18T15:08:29.804967

  warnings.warn(message, UserWarning)
📜 Converting garak reports garak.report.jsonl
The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

The fix

Use numpy.where for that conditional division.

Verification

It seems there is no coverage for the --report/-r feature, so I just ran the python script above

Thanks for the PR @marcorosa! Is there any way you can share the report.jsonl that was causing the problem?

Hi @erickgalinkin, it was just the result of running dan over mistral. I ran other tests and I have overwritten the .jsonl, but I still have the DataFrame in a python shell in case it can help you (you see DanInTheWildMini because I am using garak v0.10.x from pypi, but it's the same if you run the alpha v0.11 building the main branch)
