Feature Request

When viewing issue details, it's not immediately clear who owns the machine. We should make the owner more prominent and add visual indication when the owner interacts with the issue.

Proposed Changes

  1. Owner Badge: Add a badge/label next to a user's name anywhere it appears in the issue context that says "Owner" when that user is the machine owner

    • In issue reporter field (if owner reported the issue)
    • In comments section (if owner comments)
    • In activity timeline (if owner performs actions)
  2. Visual Prominence: Consider highlighting the owner in the issue detail box

    • Show owner name prominently (e.g., in a dedicated "Machine Owner" field)
    • Or add owner badge to the machine name/link

Example UI

Machine: Judge Dredd (Owner: Ted Gaunt 👑)

Reported by: Chris Engberg
