Per DDS, N/S can be held to one overtrick in NT. However, BBO Helper says two.

I don't know where to ask for guidance in posting images of hands. I am asked for a URL but only have screenshots to offer. What am I overlooking?

You don't need a double dummy analyzer for this hand. Defense leads a spade, declarer may or may not hold up a trick with ♠A. Declarer has 7 top tricks, 4 hearts, and the other 3 aces.
Declarer's best play for an 8th trick is to lead to the ♣Q. West can play the ♣K and the defense can cash the rest of the spades (4 total spade tricks) which is 5 tricks for the defense. You can't develop a 2nd diamond trick without losing 2 diamond tricks.
Sidenote: If West leads a diamond at trick 1, declarer can make 9 tricks, 4 hearts, ♠A, ♣A, and 3 diamond tricks.
