Future work: This makes me think we should have an internal integration test, which checks the external and internal copies of this protocol are in sync.

Worth adding a short changelog entry too, since it's actually user-visible. Something like "Query results without a string representation were previously not computed. They will now be computed and displayed with a default placeholder string." |

Test is added and and query tests are now running in CI. |

I think I put this into an earlier comment I can't find - I'd prefer to mention what the user-facing change here is, i.e. query results with no string representation were previously omitted, and will now be displayed with placeholder text.
