Gauge metrics missing repository and enterprise label values

Description

I’ve noticed that all gauges metric are not populating the repository and enterprise label

In contrast, the gha_started_jobs_total and gha_completed_jobs_total counters do populate the repository label as expected. This inconsistency makes it hard to correlate job lifecycle metrics with current runner state.

• gha_running_jobs labels: [name, namespace, repository, organization, enterprise]
• Actual populated fields: name, namespace, and organization repository and enterprise remain empty (e.g., repository="", enterprise="")

Expected behavior:

The repository label should be populated for jobs running from repository-level runners, similar to how it appears in gha_started_jobs_total.

Request / question

Can you confirm whether this is the expected behavior is a bug/limitation in how repository context is passed to gauges?
If expected, is there a recommended configuration or update that would allow repository-level context to appear in the guages metric?

Start by tracing how the gha_running_jobs gauge receives its repository and enterprise labels, then compare that path with the gha_started_jobs_total and gha_completed_jobs_total counters. Confirm whether repository-level runner context can populate those labels; done means either preserving the expected values or documenting the limitation and configuration needed.
