Using the app user interface introduced in 5.1.0.70187, when running the app from this interface, it fails saving state.

This is a new feature in 5.1 which does not exist in 5.0. When running the app from an event, there is no issue. Looking at the state directory, there are temporary files created in the directory for each failed execution.

Note: there is a permission error chmod_func(dst, stat.S_IMODE(st.st_mode))\r\nPermissionError: [Errno 1] likely the root cause of the issue.

There is no issue with the code in 5.0.1.66250 as this user interface does not exist. The code functions fine from the shell/CLI or from the events screen.
