Description

I started a regular job, then disconnected from it (not an interactive job)

I can see my job is still running:

lan@castle:~$ /staff/alex/sush job status book-dial-lawn-shock-insect-loop-picnic-filter
✅ Job ID:	book-dial-lawn-shock-insect-loop-picnic-filter
   913-0000023:2F8JEXDK  Started at 2026-09-03 15:58:14.523153172 UTC

However, if I try to attach to it, it claims the job ID is not found:

alan@castle:~$ /staff/alex/sush job attach book-dial-lawn-shock-insect-loop-picnic-filter
❌ Job `book-dial-lawn-shock-insect-loop-picnic-filter` not found

The error should tell me that it's not an interactive job.

Research direction

Start at the CLI entry point for job attach and trace how a regular, non-interactive job is handled. Update the misleading not-found response to identify that the job is not interactive, then verify the message by attaching to a running regular job.
