MacOS – Where Exactly are Apple Diagnostics Results Stored on Disk

apple-diagnosticsdiagnosticfindermacos

I know that on macOS you can access the last run Apple Diagnostics test in System Information, as seen in the image below.

enter image description here

You can also access reference codes in the Terminal using system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | grep "Reference Code".

Where on disk is this information actually stored? Or how could I use Finder to access this information? I understand there are a few other questions that are asking about software diagnostics, but I am looking specifically for hardware diagnostic results. I have checked the following directories already, and have not found the Apple Diagnostics results.

~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

~/Library/Logs

/Library/Logs

/private/var/log

Thanks in advance!
