There was a spec proposed to address this, though I don't believe it
was approved for Newton. So for now you have to assume this will
continue to be empty.

When a finish_time is recorded that should definitely also update
updated_at. I would be in favor of having updated_at set when the
instance action is created. I've never fully understood why Nova doesn't
do that generally.
