My guess is that pipe is trying to run an executable named exactly this: 
"/home/BreadPitt/program/executable --version" vs passing the --version option 
to the executable.

I am trying to retrieve the version number of the installed executable. The 
complete path exists, the file has executable permissions, but I am 
encountering a 127 error, indicating that the file does not exist. Have I 
missed something?
Here is the code that I have:
- set_fact: remote_version: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.pipe', '/home/' + 
username + '/program/executable_file' + ' --version') }}"

The error that I am getting:
fatal: [xxx.yyy.zzz.fff]: FAILED! => {"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred 
while running the lookup plugin 'ansible.builtin.pipe'. Error was a <class

lookup_plugin.pipe( /home/BreadPitt/program/executable   --version) returned 
127"}
