To Reproduce
Check logs of type "Updating job info" produced by listener.
They contain json formatted information in LogMessage which contains workflowRunId and requestId.
As of May 28th 4:41PM CET these values always show up as 0 when before they used to contain a valid id.
Describe the bug
The workflowRunId and the requestId shown in log messages produced by the listener are no longer containing valid Ids but are always 0.
This seems not be caused by a code change in the actions-runner-controller repository but rather by a change in the behavior of github.com as it happened suddenly and without any changes of the runner scaleset infrastructure on our side.
Also, the same runnerscaleset infrastructure running against a self hosted GitHub Enterprise instance is still showing the correct values.
Describe the expected behavior
The workflowRunId and requestId given in the json formatted part of listener log messages should contain correct ids, to make it possible to for example build a URL to access the log file for the workflow run.
We are using queries against the listener log files which join the begin message of a workflow run to the end message by joining them on the unique workflowRunId. Currently this does not work anymore.
