Jira (FACT-1528) Custom Ruby facts with additional resolutions instead replace core facts

Title: Message Title

was there a regression since 3.4.x? I'm using 3.6.6 (commit d0295a91b6) and try as I might can't override build-in facts via custom.

I can override via commandline:

FACTER_os="some string" facter os

but any value of 'has_weight' (or omitted) yields no updates

separator = { 'file' => File::SEPARATOR, 'path' => File::PATH_SEPARATOR }

combined = Facter.value(:os).merge({ 'separator' => separator })

Facter.add(:os) do

  has_weight(99)

  setcode do

    combined

end

end

I'm expecting to see but alas the 'separator' block never comes thru.

os:

    architecture: x86_64

    family: RedHat

...

    separator:

      file: "/"

      path: ":"

What is curious is I can override other facts like 'operatingsystem' and 'root_dir' with my $combined just fine. Is there some magic protection around 'os' that prevents overwriting?
