      The current default /home/jenkins causes some issues in some scenarios:

      When building a docker image with kaniko that is actually a jnlp agent image, since the specified workingDir is mounted as a volume in all containers in the pod, and it is also the home directory for the jenkins user, it prevents adding any file to /home/jenkins in the docker image.

      Changing the default working directory to /home/jenkins/agent should not have any downside except for users hardcoding stuff to it, while allowing this kind of scenarios in an easier way.

          This required a configuration change, without any changes it causes this error when using docker image::

           

          Error: docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:348: starting container process caused "chdir to cwd (\"/home/jenkins/agent/workspace/myjob\") set in config.json failed: permission denied": unknown.

           

          It should at least be release-noted.

          This change should have facilitated the use case without breaking backwards compatibility for everyone else as the use of the older working directory should have been noted as a deprecated expectation. It is clear it was made without any thought to the actual impact to others as there are situation where "just use the env var" is not enough of a solution to everything.
