Summary

Add a short note in Fabric checkpoint docs that Fabric.save() and Fabric.load() must be called on all processes in distributed runs.

Why

We hit issues while saving/loading in distributed execution because this requirement was not explicit in the docs, even though it exists in the method docstrings.

Changes

  • docs/source-fabric/api/fabric.rst
  • docs/source-fabric/guide/checkpoint/checkpoint.rst
  • docs/source-fabric/guide/checkpoint/distributed_checkpoint.rst

Docs-only change; behavior is unchanged.
