Oh, they're processed just the same. But the key part that you've missed is
that the catalog is compiled on the *master*. That's where all functions
run. The catalog that the agents get is just a json file that describes
what state the system should be in. The reason it appeared to work when you
ran puppet apply was that apply operates like both master and agent in that
it compiles the catalog and then enforces it.
What's the use case you're trying to solve? Writing code that does
different things based on some arbitrary condition that might have
completely different results at different times is generally a brittle
anti-pattern. We generally want a catalog to manage a system with a known
end state.
