This blog post [0] contains screenshots of git commits that were used as evidence in the trial. It only shows commits to FTX's source code, so I don't know if the prosecution also had access to Alameda's source code.
Given how obviously incriminating those snippets are, I don't think SBF really tried to hide his crimes. I'm not sure then why they would architecture FTX such there are no signs of front-running in their code.
Personally, my guess is that either A) the prosecution found evidence of front-running but thought that the case was air-tight enough already and they didn't want to confuse the jurors or B) Alameda didn't actually do any front-running.
