Value of table-specific varint in `_id` diverges in local development deployment

Hi, we would like to get local development deployments working for our repository in order to easily spawn background agents.

I have created an import script that uses 
npx convex import
 to import a JSONL file to a table, and this works well for copying over data from production into development.

However, when I create a local development deployment using 
npx convex dev --local
, I notice that the first characters of 
_id
 in a table is different than in the same table in cloud prod/dev. This is causing the 
npx convex import
 command to raise an error, because it detects mismatching 
_id
 formats.

Is this a bug, or is it intended behavior? If the latter, does that mean that you can't import documents from prod/dev into local development while retaining document system fields?
