      This pipeline succeeds:

      pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage ('Build') {
            steps {
                sh 'cat Jenkinsfile'
            }
        }
    }
}

      This pipeline fails:

      pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage ('Build') {
            agent any
            steps {
                sh 'cat Jenkinsfile'
            }
        }
    }
}

      The reason this happens is that the agent inside a stage step does not do checkout scm automatically. This is very confusing behavior. Agent initialization should be consistent whether at top or inside a stage.

      I would expect to do something like this to make an agent in a stage not do checkout:

      pipeline {
    agent any
    options {
        skipDefaultCheckout()
    }
    stages {
        stage ('Build') {
            agent any
            options {
                skipDefaultCheckout()
            }
            steps {
                sh 'cat Jenkinsfile'
            }
        }
    }
}
