No, its that the JSON results for the server side are incomplete.  We added the JSON code relatively recently for researcher support, but most of that support is accessing all that the client does (which IS in the JSON 100%).

If you need the results of this particular test in the JSON output, we can add it in for the next update and/or document how to get the information from the client side data.

Not really.  The JSON file includes all the client uploaded information, both the results and pointers to any uploaded files, but documentatino of what the client does is not formal but only informal in the transcript.
