fix(jobs): clearer "job not found" hint for Claude Code background ids (#7)#13
Merged
Conversation
…b id (#7) When /cursor:delegate runs as a Claude Code background command, Claude Code surfaces its own wrapper id ("Command running in background with ID: …"), not the Cursor job id. /cursor:status <that-id> then missed with a bare "No job … found" and the user had no obvious recovery path. status / result / cancel now append a shared hint (lib/hints.mjs# jobNotFoundMessage) explaining the id mismatch and pointing at the no-arg listing to recover the real id. Unit tests cover the message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Closes #7.
When
/cursor:delegateruns as a Claude Code background command, Claude Code surfaces its own wrapper id (Command running in background with ID: …), not the Cursor job id./cursor:status <that-id>then missed with a bareNo job … found for this repository.and the user had no obvious way to recover the real id./cursor:status,/cursor:result, and/cursor:cancelnow append a shared hint explaining the id mismatch and pointing at the no-arg listing (/cursor:statuswith no arguments lists tracked jobs) to recover the real id.Approach
scripts/lib/hints.mjs#jobNotFoundMessage(id)— one source of truth for the not-found message + hint, wired into all three commands.<cc-id>.outputfilename format, which can change. The always-on hint (remedy refactor: zero runtime deps + plain .mjs sources (no build step) #3) is robust and dependency-free.delegate.mjsoutput (remedy feat: initial plugin scaffold (v0.1.0) #1), so no change needed there.Test plan
npm test— 87/87 passing (3 new intests/hints.test.mjs)npm run lint— Prettier cleanstatus/result/cancelwith a fake CC-style id now print the hint and exit 1🤖 Generated with Claude Code
