Description

The current dynamic analysis schema should be updated to match the top-level format of the newer static analysis schema.

We should also remove the hardcoding of each phase which means that the results struct format is duplicated three times in the schema.

This will require a data migration for the currently saved dynamic analysis JSON files.

Research direction

Start by comparing the current dynamic analysis schema with the newer static analysis schema, then trace where dynamic analysis JSON files are defined and saved. Identify how the three hardcoded phases duplicate the results structure and map the required migration for existing files; done means the schemas share the intended top-level format without breaking saved data.
