Thank you for the quick, thorough, and incredibly helpful reply. You
pointed me in the right direction. Turns out we had an older module that
was doing just what you suspected. There were two titles of over 370
characters apiece. Here is the original
module:
https://github.com/puppet-modules/puppet-common/blob/master/manifests/defines/line.pp
Command used to troubleshoot:
cat /var/lib/puppet/client_data/catalog/puppetca.fqdn.json | python
-mjson.tool | grep title
I resolved this issue by changing all execs to named execs, differentiated
by the '${file}' variable passed into the script to avoid duplicate
declarations. For example, exec { name: "d_line_ensure_present_${file}":
command => ... }
Checking the logs, I no longer see the errors.

Let me know if you need any more information from my end on this.

puppetdb-terminus was updated along with puppetdb, but httpd had not been
restarted.
Thanks again, Ken!
