The cycle completion is done with a tiny microswitch in the gearbox activated by the tappet pin on the sector gear.
The previous revision had a slightly larger microswitch activated by the tappet plate itself.
The previous revision also had the option of using a small microphone mounted near the hopup unit to "hear" the shot. Maybe that is what you saw?
The details on the site seem to be halfway between the old revision and the discussions I have had with the developer as to how the new revision works...
Another interesting approach I've seen is the use of a Hall Effect sensor mounted in the spring guide and a magnet attached to the piston head inside the piston. As the piston head approaches the spring guide the sensor value changes. This was used for a precocking project:
