--resume: no recorded launch config for ${jobName} (missing

Error message

--resume: no recorded launch config for ${jobName} (missing both _bench/${jobName}/runner-config.json and ${jobName}/manager.json)

What it means

Resume requires a recorded launch config from one of two sources: the saved _bench/<jobName>/runner-config.json, or <jobDir>/manager.json (from which args are re-derived). If both are absent/unreadable, there is nothing to reconstruct the run from, so the error names both candidate paths explicitly.

Solutions

1. Check both files exist: `cat <jobsDir>/_bench/<job>/runner-config.json` and `<jobsDir>/<job>/manager.json`.
2. Re-run the job from scratch instead of resuming — there is no launch config to recover.
3. Restore the missing file from backup or re-copy the complete job dir including _bench/.
4. Upgrade: if older runner versions didn't persist these, re-run once with a current version so future resumes work.

Example fix

// before
runner --resume jobA   # jobA/config.json exists but no _bench/jobA/runner-config.json, no jobA/manager.json
// after
runner --resume jobA   # after restoring _bench/jobA/runner-config.json from backup

import * as fs from "node:fs";
const hasSaved = fs.existsSync(path.join(jobsDir, "_bench", jobName, "runner-config.json"));
const hasManager = fs.existsSync(path.join(jobDir, "manager.json"));
if (!hasSaved && !hasManager) {
  throw new Error(`no launch config to resume from for '${jobName}' — rerun from scratch`);
}

function isResumable(jobsDir: string, jobName: string): boolean {
  return fs.existsSync(path.join(jobsDir, "_bench", jobName, "runner-config.json")) ||
         fs.existsSync(path.join(jobsDir, jobName, "manager.json"));
}

try {
  await resumeJob(name);
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message.includes("no recorded launch config")) {
    console.error("No runner-config.json or manager.json found — the job must be re-run, not resumed.");
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Job dir exists and has config.json, but the _bench metadata dir was cleaned up AND manager.json is missing; resuming a job created by an older runner version that wrote neither file; manually copying a job dir without its metadata.

Common situations: Jobs dirs pruned by a cleanup script that keeps config.json but drops _bench; sharing a single job dir between machines; interrupted first launch that crashed before writing any launch record.
