Research direction
Start from the file.managed entry point and reproduce the state against /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward on Ubuntu/Linux. Investigate why the change uses a temporary path that procfs cannot create; done means file.managed can set ip_forward successfully without the reported temporary-file error.
