Why might Meltano have randomly started writing the state files to a base64-encoded named folder of the state? It creates the proper state file if it exists, but then writes the base64 folder and the state in to it.

Hi! Which state backend is this?

file://...

?

This was something like the following

<file://C>:/Users/Hayden/Documents/Projects/MeltanoTest/State

This was normally working as expected, then at some point started writing the state to the base64 encoded version of that string, although I don't remember at what point, and I wasn't dealing with any of that sort of stuff at the time. I'll try correct it again when I get home today.

That's really weird indeed. I wonder if the operating system doesn't like the state ID and thus converts it to base64 🤔
