Okay, yeah, same vote. Seems good to separate them. Any downsides?

JSON string as out parameter seems... the cleanest and most flexible/future-proof.

Double agree. Please run away from that scenario.

We've not seen this before... Any idea how to reproduce this?

Yes, there are temp files (which we can talk about), but we've never seen them 'misbehave' in this way...

This seems a very good assessment. Yes, the temp files should be created *more* randomly and/or in a different location (or not at all). Will mark this as a bug...

We can move this up the priority list - certainly. Moving to 4.3.2 milestone. It will not be fixed/addressed in the 4.2.x series.

a more random name (segment) is certainly where we are leaning. that should eliminate any collisions - which appears to be the root of the problem. we also need to...

I think your assessment is correct about making a snapshot to defend against the case a change in the rulefile happens after the agent starts. I think we could read...

That seems... good/thorough. Old things get old behavior. New things get new, narrower behavior. And we make sure that the things we ship categorize themselves as new things.
