Subject: [PATCH] sc-66351 auto onboard large runenrs (#774)

**Context:**
This PR fixes an issue introduced as part of the previous pr #769 .

This issue was identified while trying to replicate an RC branch and
testing the workflows as part of #773.

**Description of the Change:**
- Added extra echo statements to see clearly the outcome of the workflow
if logic
- Removes quotes around the regex expression as that was making all
evaluations of the logic to go false.
- This issue did not arise in my previous testing but turned out to be a
mismatch in shell configuration between myself locally and github
actions. I was able to reproduce the bug locally and see that this
worked.

#773 worked as expected with the changes introduced in this PR.

**Possible Drawbacks:**
