If that check fails, it prints an error message and stops without opening the view.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis prevents the background-agents view from opening into a broken or unready state, showing an error instead so the underlying problem is clear.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
