To Reproduce

1. Create a repository, e.g. multi-service
2. Rename the repository, e.g. platform-core-services
3. Run a job and inspect the ephemeralrunners - kubectl get ephemeralrunners
4. See the JOBREPOSITORY is using the original repository name instead of the new name.

Describe the bug

I noticed when looking at what jobs were actively running on our runners with kubectl get ephemeralrunners that there were repo names that I didn't recognize in the JOBREPOSITORY field. Upon further inspection it is because this field is using an original name of the repository instead of the current name of the repository. For a specific example we have a repository in our org called platform-core-services. The original repo name was multi-service, and this is what is being reported:

» kubectl get ephemeralrunners

NAME                                       GITHUB CONFIG URL        RUNNERID   STATUS    JOBREPOSITORY                JOBWORKFLOWREF                                 WORKFLOWRUNID   JOBDISPLAYNAME                    MESSAGE   AGE
custom-linux-standard-wt56w-runner-82bwm   https://github.com/ORG   1456071    Running   ORG/multi-service            ORG/workflows/gradle-build.yaml@refs/tags/v0   8578405827      gradle-build / build                        83s

If I navigate to github.com/ORG/multi-service it properly redirects to github.com/ORG/platform-core-services, but looking at this output and JOBREPOSITORY is a bit weird.

Describe the expected behavior

I would expect that the JOBREPOSITORY field on ephemeralrunners shows the current name of a repository and not the original name.

Additional Context

I'm happy to provide any values.yaml or logs if needed but there isn't anything in logs or our configuration that seems to show the issue or define this setting. Looking at the output of kubectl get ephemeralrunners is where the issue presents itself.

Is there any progress on this?

My team is also experiencing this issue with the latest 0.10.1 version. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

As a workaround, one might consider using the REST API to fetch the repository in question, follow the redirect, and get the real name. This would require a GitHub app with a token, though.

@Link- , @nikola-jokic, are there any updates on this issue? I saw there were some great metrics changes included in the 0.11.0 release: https://github.com/actions/actions-runner-controller/releases/tag/gha-runner-scale-set-0.11.0.

It would be great to get this issue resolved as well since it prevents accurate metric collecting.

@ajschmidt8 - it's on our radar but we haven't been able to prioritise the work on this yet.
