Pull request overview
This PR fixes a display name bug for local actions where "Run /./" was shown instead of "Run ./". The fix ensures that when a RepositoryPathReference has an empty Name (which occurs for local/self-repo actions), the Path is used directly without prepending a leading slash.
Changes:
- Modified
GenerateDisplayNamemethod to check ifNameis empty before prepending "/" toPath - Added two test cases to verify the fix for local actions with different path formats

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| src/Runner.Worker/ActionRunner.cs | Fixed path string generation to not prepend "/" when Name is empty (local actions) |
| src/Test/L0/Worker/ActionRunnerL0.cs | Added tests for local action display names and removed trailing whitespace |
For local actions (uses: ./), the display name was incorrectly showing 'Run /./' due to a leading '/' being prepended to the path. This change fixes the GenerateDisplayName method to not prepend '/' when the repository Name is empty, which is the case for local/self-repo actions. The Path already contains the full relative path (e.g., './' or './.github/actions/foo'), so no leading '/' is needed.
