Does a challenge effect count as resolved if its condition is not met or it does nothing?

The designer ruled on this and the rulebook explains the double-arrow icon.

No. If none of its instructions can do anything, for example there is no valid target, it does not count as having resolved, even without a double-arrow icon. That matters for cards that react to an effect resolving. In a double-arrow effect, the part after the arrow happens only if the part before was fully done.
