COPA Connecting Through SJO - Bypass Immigration?

I got a great deal on a flight to MGA that routes from PTY through San Jose SJO rather than non-stop.

On the way back it is non-stop MGA to PTY so this is just on the way down.

I have 90 minutes anyway but I do hope I don't have to clear into the public area just to go straight back.

On arrival in SJO is there a connecting passenger bypass for immigration and customs? I presume there might be security but not entry per se into SJO via the formalities.

Like in PTY or SAL for example. I have been to SJO a couple of times but of course those times I was going to SJO to stay.
