Description
The generator source creates events based on a static set of text lines hard-coded into the configuration file. It would be useful (for what?) to be able to load the lines from a file, rewinding and replaying the file for each batch.

Research direction
Start at the generator source and the configuration handling referenced by PR #2286, then inspect how static text lines are batched and replayed. Done means the generator can load lines from a configured file and rewind and replay them for each batch, with coverage for the file-backed behavior.
