Yes, that's clear.  Thank you.

I am setting the variable in the right place to have
it set for the buffer I am writing in.  But it just doesn't do anything
when I try to complete.

To check, if I use

(setq-local completion-at-point-functions (list #'cape-dabbrev))

instead of the expression above, that particular capf does get invoked.
