Policyfiles named runlists can cause problems.
If you ever get in a situation where you have a node in a policy group, with the correct Policyfile applied, but a recipe will not show up on the node, this problem could be caused by a named_run_list taking precedence over the regular run_list; see https://docs.chef.io/policyfile/#settings
Remove the named_run_list from the node and the original, correct run list should take effect.
