Description

### Description

Airflow names child runs from TriggerDagRunOperator as manual__..., even though no person manually started that backfill. It would be great if they can have a more detailed naming.

Research direction

Start at TriggerDagRunOperator and trace how it generates the child run ID, then inspect the related tests for run naming. Done means child runs triggered by this operator use a detailed name that identifies their trigger source rather than the manual__ prefix.
