frr: Failed to open commit history "/var/lib/frr/commit-index.dat" for writing: No such file or directory

When I start frr with /etc/init.d/frr start I see errors in the system log:

Wed Feb  5 18:50:56 2025 daemon.err mgmtd[3257]: libyang: Failed to open file "/var/lib/frr/commit-20250205185056384052348.json" (No such file or directory).
Wed Feb  5 18:50:56 2025 daemon.err mgmtd[3257]: [HAWY9-CP261] Failed to open commit history "/var/lib/frr/commit-index.dat" for writing: No such file or directory

Any idea what those are about? They seem alarming no matter what they are. on a 24.10.0 target there doesn't seem to be even a /var/lib/ never mind /var/lib/frr/. Should that path exist? Or should mgmtd be told somewhere else to be trying to write that data?
