Research direction

Investigate the Jimp `background` method source code in the repository to determine if it returns the image instance for chaining. Also review the user's code snippet: the first `.then()` does not return `image.background(...)`, which may cause `image` to be undefined in the next `.then()`. Check if the issue is a user error or a bug in the library. Look at related issues or comments for maintainer input.
