Fix chef-server-ctl gather-logs command failure caused by OpenSSL gem version conflict. The ohai binstub has hardcoded gem version requirements (openssl 3.2.0) that conflict with already-loaded gems (openssl 3.3.0). Changes: - Modified gather-logs script to invoke ohai through embedded ruby directly - Bypasses the binstub's strict gem version requirements - Added fallback to original method for safety - Includes proper error handling and warning messages This resolves the Gem::LoadError that prevented gather-logs from completing in Chef Server 15.10.66 and later versions.

Summary
Fix chef-server-ctl gather-logs command failure caused by OpenSSL gem version conflict in Chef Server 15.10.66 and later versions.Jira Ticket
CHEF-26888 - This work was completed with AI assistance following Progress AI policies.Problem
The gather-logs command was failing with error:The issue occurred because the ohai binstub (/opt/opscode/bin/ohai) was generated with hardcoded gem version requirements for openssl 3.2.0, but when gather-logs runs, chef has already loaded openssl 3.3.0.
Changes Made
- Modifiedomnibus/files/private-chef-scripts/gather-logsto invoke ohai through embedded ruby directly - Bypasses the binstub's strict gem version requirements by usingruby -rohai -e- Added fallback to the original ohai binstub method for safety - Includes proper error handling and warning messagesTesting
The fix allows Ruby's gem system to naturally resolve gem versions instead of enforcing the binstub's hardcoded requirements. This approach: - Avoids the version conflict error - Maintains backward compatibility with fallback - Preserves all ohai functionalityhttps://progresssoftware.atlassian.net/browse/CHEF-26888
