Description
Currently, isRunning() relies on the name, instanceId, and runtimeStatus parsed from the OrchestrationState returned over gRPC to determine whether the orchestration is running, however, there is also an Exists field on OrchestrationState that should also be considered, as runtimeStatus is populated from an enum with a default value.
This may also affect the implementation of isCompleted() and/or isInstanceFound()

Research direction
Locate OrchestrationMetadata and its isRunning(), isCompleted(), and isInstanceFound() entry points, then trace how OrchestrationState is received over gRPC. Check how the Exists field and default runtimeStatus are currently handled, and add or update tests so the affected methods correctly distinguish existing and non-existing orchestrations.
