Following up on my own question, I'm closer but not there:
The fact no longer breaks a puppet run.
On a node, facter -p shows my fact. It is not, however, in the report sent
to my master, nor in the yaml file for the host.
However, if i run puppet manually (puppet agent -t), once it finishes, it is
ONLY then in the report/yaml.
Why would this happen?
