Research direction
Start by locating the isJob() entry point and tracing how it distinguishes Background Jobs from Workbench Jobs. Reproduce the reported result in both execution contexts, then verify that the check reports TRUE for Workbench Jobs without changing its behavior for Background Jobs.

Description
In Workbench, as far as I can tell with my testing, isJob() returns TRUE only when used as Background Job and return FALSE when executed in a Workbench Job.
Could we modify the check so that it also returns TRUE when called from within a Workbench Job?
One example was a customer asking for how to have different behavior when run in dev (local interactive session) and use different data for example when run in a Workbench Job in a much lager scaled session.
