A background job is a task Claude Code keeps running on its own. Each job has a folder. Claude Code used to create that folder every time it launched the job. Now, once the folder has been made, or after the job has been relaunched because attaching to it stalled, Claude Code requires the folder to already exist instead of creating it.
A job folder that was removed is no longer quietly recreated when the job is relaunched.
