Description

### Description of the feature request:

It would improve the user experience by quite a bit if the repository rules's profile spans are decorated with the same content currently printed to `experimental_workspace_rules_log_file`.

The log file by itself is not that interesting because the timing (start, finish, duration) is not included with the events.

Research direction

Start by tracing the repository rules' profile spans and the content currently written to experimental_workspace_rules_log_file. Determine how Workspace Events expose start, finish, and duration, then confirm that the spans include the same event content and timing needed for repository rule troubleshooting.
