root_dir override from ServerApp doesn't propagate to scheduler

[baraksalomon]

Description

When configuring:
c.ServerApp.root_dir
The output folder "jobs" is created under the working director and not under the directory configured in ServerApp.root_dir
Is my assumption correct? should ServerApp.root_dir affect the scheduler?
if not, is there another parameter that can do that?
I tried c.SchedulerApp.output_directory = 'some/folder' but the log says:
[W 2024-12-23 09:35:58.308 SchedulerApp] Config option output_directory not recognized by SchedulerApp.

1. Create a "Run now" job.
2. Click Download.
3. Check under the working directory and see the job folder is there and not under ServerApp.root_dir

Expected behavior

I expected the folder to be created under the folder configure in ServerApp.root_dir

Context

• Operating System and version: Ubuntu 24
• Browser and version: N/A
• JupyterLab version: 4.3.4
• Jupyter Scheduler version: 2.10.0

This seems to be happening recently. Any quick fix?

For my environment I've removed ServerApp.root_dir and start the server from the folder I intended to use in ServerApp.root_dir.

This might not work for others depending on the complexity of their environment.
