Thanks for the awesome answers - this is very helpful.

How are log resources affected by resource cloning (CHEF-3694) ?

All resource types are affected by resource cloning in the same way. If a

resource's type+name match a previously defined resource's type+name, it

will be created from a clone instead of created from scratch.

Will a log resource with a level of debug be created/updated when the

Chef run isn't in debug mode, and not be displayed? Or is the resource

evaluated at compile phase, and determined "we;re not running in debug

mode, don't add this to the collection"?

The log resource's implementation is about as simple as it gets:

What you're describing sounds like it could be a useful improvement.
