Research direction
The issue requires implementing missing fields in the WatchRuns response. Start by examining the protobuf definitions for Run and related messages in the repository. The test script at runs/test/scripts/watch runs.sh shows the expected structure. Review the implementation of WatchRuns in the service code to add the missing fields like start time, end time, attempts, cache status, duration ms.
