I’ve read through the docs and cannot figure out why my use of LocalResult on a task is not persisting results. There are definitely results, because I can print them out like so: `print(state.result[baseline_fractions]._result)` . All that happens is that my `dir` provided location produces the directories and then an empty folder. What am I missing here?

My task decorator signature

```@task(checkpoint=True, result=LocalResult(dir="~/Desktop/pipeline/results"))```

running locally? theres an env var to turn checkpointing on...let me find it

```export PREFECT__FLOWS__CHECKPOINTING=true```

I don't think setting the arg in the task decorator is enough

OK that appears to have done it. Just did a search for that env var in the docs and it is there. My bad. Thank you for your help.
