The extra information is displayed that way:

There is 2 runs with this extra info in place:
A successful one: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6528745436086272
A failed one: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4558139312308224
For both the testrun.zip is available in the Artifacts section.
Sharing this now in case you want to have a look (I'll have a look at them early next week on my side).
