Description

Currently log entries only have job_id and run_id as fields coming from core. It would make debugging easier if the step label would be in the fields set. Other fields may also be added in this process if relevant.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing how core supplies job_id and run_id to log entries, then identify where step labels are available and added to fields; done means log entries include the step label and existing logging behavior remains covered by tests.
