`var-annotated` behaves differently with daemon

Isn't this just because the daemon implicitly enables local_partial_types?

[DetachHead]

seems silly that the daemon secretly changes random flags, i would expect it to behave the same way

[hauntsaninja]

Yeah, this is because of local partial types. I think Jukka is planning on making that the default, so closing as duplicae of #10169

[KotlinIsland]

It's the default in basedmypy

Found this issue from googling, and sharing my further digging:

• it's turned on at

  mypy/mypy/dmypy_server.py

  Lines 197 to 199 in 55d4c17

  	# Fine-grained incremental doesn't support general partial types
  	# (details in https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/4492)
  	options.local_partial_types = True

• reasoning for the flag being turned on in daemon mode is because otherwise the daemon is buggy: see What to do about inferring types from multiple scopes? #4492
• in future, this error is going to be default for CLI invocations too: Enable local partial types by default #10169 (but it's not yet)
