Description

Motivation

Currently, session_started_ns is not populated and left as a TODO item.

Proposed Solution

Populate it with the benchmark start time ideally right before performance phase starts.
Need to ensure that it is not inconsistent with other reporting metrics (check if we already publish any timestamps ).

Research direction

Inspect the benchmark flow around the performance phase and search for existing published timestamps or reporting metrics. Determine the benchmark start point for session_started_ns, then verify that its value is consistent with the other reported timestamps and that the session field is populated.
