tl;dr: Testing on deployment-salt (or other Beta Cluster/deployment-prep vms?): please watch out for "[LOCAL HACK]" commits and don't lose them.
See: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75947
Basically: Some local puppet changes were committed on deployment-salt with "[LOCAL HACK]" in the summary (as is the practice to test/do things before they're merged in ops/puppet for a number of reasons, see: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76392 for reducing that). They were, unfortunately lost somehow. Current theory is that someone accidentally clobbered them while doing their own testing.
If it was you, no worries (Bryan's already fixed this specific case, thanks Bryan!) but please don't do it again. :)
Feel free to talk with the QA mailing list if you have any questions on how to do testing of puppet changes in Beta Cluster: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/qa
Best,
