Description

For ctl, there is only a name without payload.

Just change

"action: " + *a->m_name.get());

to

"action: " + *a->m_name.get() + (a->m_parser_payload.empty() ? "" : ":" + a->m_parser_payload));

Research direction

Locate the debug-log code containing the shown "action: " expression and inspect how m_name and m_parser_payload are used. Update the logged action representation so a nonempty payload appears after the action name, then run the relevant logging or parser tests if available and verify payload-free actions retain their current format.
