Research direction

Start at structural_imbalance() and reproduce the failure with a response containing no rows, focusing on the next(iter(response)) call. Check the related dimod issue for context; done means the function handles an empty response without raising an exception, with behavior consistent with that reference.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
