[Bug?]: Unable to setup recurring jobs

What's not working?

Hi, in production, all jobs after my first execution fail with this message, visible in the lastError field of my BackgroundJobs table:

The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined
    at Object.join (node:path:1269:7)
    at loadJob (/opt/render/project/src/node_modules/@redwoodjs/jobs/dist/loaders.js:56:52)
    at Executor.perform (/opt/render/project/src/node_modules/@redwoodjs/jobs/dist/core/Executor.js:63:52)
    at #work (/opt/render/project/src/node_modules/@redwoodjs/jobs/dist/core/Worker.js:124:12)

For what it's worth, this is how I'm scheduling subsequent jobs at the end of my job's execution:

await later(CreateAutomaticUpdatesJob, [], { wait: 15 })

And other details that might matter:

My server is deployed on render & my database is on supabase
I have a pretty convoluted build script: corepack enable && yarn install && yarn rw build api && yarn rw jobs stop && yarn rw jobs start && yarn rw exec startJobs
My startJobs script just runs await CreateAutomaticUpdatesJob.perform()

How do we reproduce the bug?
