Description

If i follow https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/context-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions#example-printing-context-information-to-the-log-file
and dump all the contexts:
https://github.com/LebedevRI/rawspeed/runs/1317295832?check_suite_focus=true
and look in the verbose logs:
https://github.com/LebedevRI/rawspeed/commit/bf1962150dc9c660dd5d191fd5afd62cd23c59f9/checks/1317295832/logs
nowhere in there can the name ZZ I'M A NAME i set via name: for the job can be found.

I'd like to use that string as an upload name for codecov report, and since it is unavaliable, i'll have to re-compute it..

Research direction

Confirm where job context is exposed and whether the user-friendly name is absent. Done means an action can access the configured job name for use as an upload name.
