Why do I see "vcs/commit" instead of a user name in the Runs view?

Context
When viewing the Runs interface, you may notice that some runs display "vcs/commit" as the user instead of showing a specific user's name (e.g., "Firstname Lastname"). This can be confusing when monitoring run activity, especially during periods of increased Git operations.
Answer
This is expected behavior for runs that are triggered through Git commands. When a run is initiated via Git operations (such as merges or commits), it displays as "vcs/commit" because these automated actions do not have an associated active user session.
This differs from runs that are manually triggered by users through the interface, which will show the actual user's name who initiated the run.
