I am running my job inside an ECS agent. So there is nothing to clean. In the past, I removed "Clean up after checkout" and "Clean up before checkout." And my job ran inside the ECS agent without issue. Last night, my code attempted to run and it tried to clean the workspace. Nothing about the code change. Why is it trying to clean when I told it not to? What changed in the background? Can I do a "force checkout" without a clean?
