Well, the set_fact is supposed to only register or select anything
where the size parameter of the files attributes is 0. The ones that
are printing just [] don't fit that criteria, and therefore, shouldn't
be included in the debug output. Yet they are, so that's what I'm
trying to fix/clean up first.
The ansible.builtin.find module always returns a list.
You're doing an ansible.builtin.set_fact on all the hosts, the value of
which is a subset of that list.
But that, too, is a list, even if it is an empty list.
So you'll get an empty list for any host where either (a) no
/var/log/messages file was found (not likely), or (b) where
/var/log/messages is not zero-length.
But there's nothing in your first few tasks to preclude
ansible.builtin.debug from showing these very real and very much there
empty lists.
