It seems to me that for the Chinese room scenario to have any depth beyond the trivial “the ignorant and inattentive fool can be easily fooled”, then it must assume the answer, which is it is possible for a non-sentient computer to be programmed so as to respond to any depth of probing questions from a sentiment person with any possible depth of knowledge of how human sentience works in a way such that computer’s non-sentience is impenetrable to the said person.
There is no way we could possibly know whether that is true or not.
