Description
I am using v.2.3 in Laravel 5.2.
The GrapeShot crawler using the following user agent is not recognized as a bot:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; GrapeshotCrawler/2.0; http://www.grapeshot.co.uk/crawler.php)
It is incorrectly being returned as a desktop browser, and the device, browser, and other tests are all blank.

Research direction
Reproduce the report with the supplied GrapeshotCrawler/2.0 user agent on version 2.3. No file or test is named, so first locate the bot-detection entry point and existing crawler coverage. Done means the user agent is classified as a bot rather than a desktop browser, with device and browser results behaving as expected.
