Subject: [PATCH] fix: automation still shows "Last run Never" after "Run now"
 (#31583)

* fix: automation still shows "Last run Never" after "Run now"

Running an automation with "Run now" added the run to its history, but the automation page and the Automations list kept showing "Last run Never" (or the time of the last scheduled run). Only scheduled runs recorded a last run time. A manual run now records it too, so the automation page and the Automations list show the time of the run you just started.

Fixes #31580

* fix: show the new last run time right after Run now

The automation page now takes the automation the server returns after Run now, so the last run time updates on the spot and no reload is needed.
