Description

When systems are defined as,

return {
    system = function()
        -- ...
    end
}

The name for the system will become system. When this happens, we should fallback to using the Source + Line for the system name.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at how system names are assigned in the codebase, specifically when a system is defined as a function with name 'system'. Find where the name is captured and modify the logic to fallback to source file and line number when the name equals 'system'.
