Describe the bug
We have observed that the "Runner group name" is no longer displayed in the GitHub Actions setup logs for our self-hosted runners. This information was previously present and is important for troubleshooting and auditing purposes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Configure and register a self-hosted runner in a specific runner group.
  2. Trigger a workflow that uses this runner.
  3. Review the setup logs for the job.

Expected behavior
The setup logs should include the "Runner group name" as they did previously, for example:
2025-06-05T20:49:05.4042038Z Runner group name: 'XYS-us-linux'

Actual behavior:
The "Runner group name" line is missing from the logs. Only the runner name and machine name are shown.
