Description

Describe the bug
Link text displayed in the UI contains URL encodings. It makes it hard to read, especially if the workflow ID contains special characters.

Expected behavior
Link text should contain the decoded string so that it is easy to read.

Research direction

Start by reading the link-text handling at src/lib/components/event/event-card.svelte line 109 and src/lib/components/event/event-link.svelte line 14, focusing on how the workflow URI becomes visible text. Verify the affected UI with a workflow ID containing special characters; done means the links display the decoded string rather than URL encodings.
