Differentiate Staging Ground posts from regular questions

Version 2.3 of the SE API does not clearly distinguish between questions that are on Stack Overflow's Staging Ground and questions on its main site. This comment on a SmokeDetector GH issue details it pretty completely, but to recap, GET requests for SG questions currently look something like this:

"items": [
  {
    "score": 0,
    "creation_date": 1725590314,
    "post_type": "question",
    "post_id": 78955432,
    "share_link": "https://stackoverflow.com/q/78955432",
    "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/q/78955432"
  }
],

This is nearly identical to the regular report for questions, which makes it difficult to tell whether a post is an actual question or not.

How can I access information about a post's Staging Ground status via the API?
