Description
Describe the bug
starting_job is the job from which a user started a run.
This works perfectly when you start a run from trigger or a specific node but it's then wrong when you select a node from a previous run to do a retry run.
During a retry run, whatever job you have selected is picked as the starting_job when the run actually starts from the top(first node) of the workflow.
Version number Latest
If you're running on a tagged version, include the number: vX.Y.Z
If you're running locally with an unreleased version, the commit sha: 84b1bdc
I have reproduced this locally on main:
- Yes
- No
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to a previous run
- Select a job which isn't the first job of the workflow that allows a retry run
- Do a retry run from there
- You'll notice the history of your recent run has
starting_jobbeing the job you had selected but the workflow was actually executed from the top
Expected behavior
The starting_job should be whatever job that was executed first. In the case of a retry run, we start execution from the top, not the selected job the retry started from.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the retry run from a previous run, selecting a non-first job, and trace where starting_job is assigned during retry execution. Done means the recent run history reports the first job actually executed—the workflow's top node—rather than the selected retry node.
