Idempotence issue? Errors are "No filter named 'from_json'", then "Container frc-directors-director was not found"

[chuckmilam]

Current environment: Running against three CentOS Stream 8 AMIs. Using Ansbile 2.8.7 in a fresh python venv.

First run of the small playbook as described in the README gives this error:

 fatal: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: FAILED! => {
     "msg": "template error while templating string: No filter named 'from_json'.. String: {{ secrets.stdout|from_json }}"
 }

When running a second time, we get this error:

fatal: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": true,
    "cmd": "/home/elastic/elastic-cloud-enterprise.sh upgrade --cloud-enterprise-version 3.5.1 --docker-registry docker.elastic.co --ece-docker-repository cloud-enterprise",

        }
    },

    "stdout_lines": [
        "\u001b[0;31mContainer frc-directors-director was not found -- does the current host have a role 'director'?\u001b[0m"
    ]
}

If I log directly into the primary node and do a docker ps -a, the "frc-directors-director" container is present and healthy.

Running the playbook again errors out at the same "Container frc-directors-director was not found" point.
