heyo. wondering if there is a way to get the _name_ of a project instead of it's UUID (`session.props.id`). we have a master project and i need to configure the logger on the alarm pipelines to reflect the project name so we can filter the logs by `project_alarmPipeline`. eg: _DarkElfFarms\_BloodLevelAlarm_.

Have you tried `system.util.getProjectName()` ?
