Description

**Describe the bug**
When running a new workflow, you have to manually click refresh and there are not automatic updates.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
When I re-run a workflow, I see the steps progress:
![rerunworkflow](https://github.com/github/vscode-github-actions/assets/7976517/a8912f2a-c297-4193-9990-a8c185678d46)

When I run a new workflow, I have to hit refresh to see it:
![runnewworkflow](https://github.com/github/vscode-github-actions/assets/7976517/5bed6ef5-2f00-4bd9-8834-08a579c7dbf1)

**Expected behavior**
Running a new workflow should work similarly to re-running a workflow and update the UI without needing to manually hit the refresh button.

**Screenshots**
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

**Extension Version**
`v0.25.8`

Research direction

Reproduce the difference between running a new workflow and re-running one, including the need to use the refresh button. Trace the extension UI paths for starting a new workflow, re-running a workflow, and refreshing; done means a newly started workflow updates like a rerun without manual refresh.
