Description
If I have a workflow defined like the below:
jobs:
foo:
name: bar
GITHUB_JOB will be foo, however, pretty much everywhere else (e.g. listing check runs and the GitHub UI) will refer to the display name, in the above case: bar

Research direction
Reproduce the workflow shown in the issue with a job key of foo and display name bar. Compare GITHUB_JOB with the job name returned by the linked check-runs API and shown in the GitHub UI. Done means the runner's job identifier is consistent with the intended naming convention across these surfaces.
