Research direction

Start by reproducing the error with Puppet 8.10.0 on Debian 13 using the puppetlabs-puppet_agent v4.25.0 module and the shown ::puppet_agent configuration. Trace the upgrade path invoked by "puppet agent -t"; done means the configuration no longer reports that pre-Puppet 4 upgrades are unsupported on this platform.
