    Description

      Puppet Version: Affects all versions
      Puppet Server Version:
      OS Name/Version: CentOS 7

      This is essentially the same issue as seen in a an old PR which was lost over the years - https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1158 where rapid or parallel puppet runs can cause an already existing agent_disabled_lockfile to get truncated 

      Desired Behavior:

      I do not believe puppet actually needs to be creating a resource for this file, the agent_catalog_run_lockfile has a setting type of string for this reason (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/main/lib/puppet/defaults.rb#L1669) I'd like to apply the same setting type to agent_disabled_lockfile

      Actual Behavior:

      Examples:
      puppet agent --test --trace --debug --logdest /root/puppet-debug.log

      Lockfile being created (grep agent_disabled puppet-debug.log):

      Note: File[/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/state/agent_disabled.lock]/ensure (debug): created
