Have you initialized the submodules? git submodule update --init

I hadn't. Running it solved my issue. Thanks!

Is there a place I should have checked to be aware of this change?

I had this last night. Somehow flicking between branches caused my jellywin-web to become screwed. I then received git errors like "warning: unable to rmdir 'MediaBrowser.WebDashboard/jellyfin-web': Directory not empty".

@taconaut https://jellyfin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-docs/building/

It's not really explicitly stated that the ui has been submoduled though.
