Describe the bug

It appears as if context.job returns the value for jobs.<job_id> instead of jobs.<job_id>.name, which the user can opt to set via workflow syntax.

If jobs.<job_id>.name is set, can we return its value within context.job (or within a similarly-named new variable)?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a workflow like so:

   on: pull_request
   jobs:
     demo:
       name: Demo Job
       runs-on: ubuntu-latest
       steps:
         - name: Echo job name
           uses: actions/github-script@v7
           with:
             script: console.log(JSON.stringify(context.job));
   

2. Observe as the output logs "demo" instead of "Demo Job".

Expected behavior

Instead of "demo", I would expect context.job to output "Demo Job" as that is its job name. If that's not possible, at least have a dedicated context.job_name to return the proper job name.

context comes from @actions/github so I'll transfer this to the toolkit repo.

Thank you for transferring @joshmgross, and feel free to let me know if I can provide any more information to help troubleshooting.
