A proctored test version was only considered complete if at least one submission had been recorded. So if a student never submitted a version and it timed out, the student needed proctor authorization to enter it again.

Now a version that has timed out is complete whether or not it was ever submitted, so the student can enter it without a proctor. Answers still can not be submitted for the version.

With the develop branch if a student takes a test version but never submits it and the test times out, then if the student attempts to reenter the test after the grace period has ended, the student must enter (or have entered) the proctor password to get in. Before #3240, a student also had to have the proctor password entered; however, once that were done the test was converted into an unproctored test, and from then on the student could enter the test without the proctor. With this change the student can directly enter the timed out test.

Just to clarify, with the main branch (or develop before #3240) a student could enter a timed out proctored test without the proctor information once it had been entered once after the test timed out. With the current develop branch, the proctor information must be entered every single time to get in.
