Description
## Problem
The SDK's `EvaluationClient` only exposes `run()`. On the control plane side, customers cannot programmatically create custom evaluators (LLM-as-a-judge configs), list available evaluators, update or delete evaluators, or manage online evaluation configs for continuous evaluation on live traffic — evaluator provisioning requires the console. On the data plane side, the starter toolkit's `EvaluationProcessor` provides significantly richer orchestration than `run()`: it fetches session data from CloudWatch independently, groups evaluators by level (SESSION vs TRACE), determines which spans to send based on evaluator level, and runs multiple evaluators with per-evaluator error handling. The toolkit also provides input validation, IAM role cleanup on delete, and typed config/result models.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Customers can create, get, list, update, and delete custom evaluators
- [ ] Customers can create, get, list, update, and delete online evaluation configs
- [ ] Online evaluation config supports enable/disable toggling and sampling rate adjustment
- [ ] Typed result models with error introspection (`has_error()`, `get_successful_results()`)
- [ ] Customers can fetch session trace data (spans + runtime logs) from CloudWatch for a given session and agent
- [ ] Customers can find the most recent session for an agent
- [ ] Multi-evaluator orchestration groups evaluators by level and selects appropriate spans per level
- [ ] Per-evaluator error handling — failures on one evaluator don't block others
- [ ] Online evaluation config deletion supports optional IAM execution role cleanup
- [ ] All functionality is verified via integration tests running in CI

Research direction
Start with operations/evaluation/control_plane_client.py and models.py, then read EvaluationProcessor in on_demand_processor.py, EvaluationDataPlaneClient, and delete_online_evaluation_config() in online_processor.py. Trace the linked entry points and existing integration-test setup first. Done means all listed evaluator, online-config, session-data, orchestration, error-result, cleanup, and CI integration-test criteria are covered.
