Follow up on this:
My code was fine. Somehow the "level" variable I was using got stuck
on "normal." That is, when I ran "puppetd -t."
Even if I removed "level = normal" from the manifest, just leaving
"level = confidential," "normal" was returned.
When puppetd ran as a daemon, the correct variable was returned.
The fix was to remove "/var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts/puppet.example.com.yaml."
