Commit Message: test(infra): improve test data for action and actor names in Robot helper scripts
Milestone: Backlog
Parent Epic: #5407

Description

The Robot Framework helper scripts robot/helper_action_cli_spec.py and robot/helper_actor_cli_show.py use hardcoded and simplistic names for actions and actors in their tests. For example, "local/smoke-action" and "local/robot-actor". This limits the scope of testing and may not cover all possible edge cases.

Subtasks

Implement a data generation strategy for action and actor names to be used in the helper scripts.
The strategy should generate a varied set of names, including different lengths, special characters, and other variations.
Alternatively, implement a data-driven approach where the test data is read from a separate file (e.g., a JSON or YAML file).
Update the tests in the helper scripts to use the generated or data-driven data.

Definition of Done

The hardcoded action and actor names in the helper scripts are replaced with a more robust data generation or data-driven strategy.
The tests continue to pass after the changes.
The new test data covers a wider range of scenarios.
All nox stages pass.
Coverage >= 97%.

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.7.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
