Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the controller path that creates runner Pods and adds the existing actions.github.com/organization label, then trace how pod labels are used for resource-usage metrics. Done means runner Pods expose a repository-name label consistently without breaking existing labels or metrics.
