If i switch to json instead of json2 output then i dont get COCOMO estimations

following is full code for my github action

description: "Run scc, display results"
inputs:
  fail-threshold:
    description: "Threshold for failing the build based on complexity"
    required: false
    default: 100
outputs:
  complexity:
    description: "The total complexity of the codebase"
runs:
  using: "composite"
  steps:
    - name: Check out repository
      uses: actions/checkout@v3

    - name: Set up Node.js
      uses: actions/setup-node@v3
      with:
        node-version: "20.x"

    - name: Set up Go
      uses: actions/setup-go@v4
      with:
        go-version: "1.20"

    - name: Install scc
      shell: bash
      run: |
        go install github.com/boyter/scc@latest

    - name: Install dependencies
      shell: bash # <--- Add this line to specify the shell
      run: cd "${{ github.action_path }}" && yarn add @actions/github @actions/core

    - name: Run scc
      shell: bash
      id: scc
      working-directory: ${{ github.workspace }}
      run: |
        scc -f json2 -o scc_results.json

    - name: Upload SCC Results
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
      with:
        name: scc_results
        path: scc_results.json 

Expected behavior

• when using json cocomo results should be published in json file
• when using json2 in github actions it should generate json as output

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: ubuntu-latest

I suspect that the action needs to be updated to the latest version of scc in order to get this.
