My chef client node has an “app” role in it’s run_list, that has already run on
my node. Let’s say it that the app role has two recipes in it’s run_list:
“nginx” and “varnish”. I update my my app role on my chef server, so that it
now has three recipes: “nginx”, “varnish”, and “git”. When I run sudo chef-client on my node, it doesn’t pick up on the fact that the app role has
changed, and run the new “git” recipe…has anyone else has this problem? Is
this by design or am I doing something wrong?

You need to also update the role via knife on the chef server:
$ knife role from file roles/myrole.rb
$ knife role show myrole

I did that, and verified that the role is updated on my chef server. Still
though, my client isn't picking it up.

Can you run your chef client with debug logging and see what the log
file tells you? Something like
chef-client -j /etc/chef/chef.json -L /var/log/chef-debug.log -l debug

Grig, we ended up removing the node and re bootstrapping to solve the
problem. The path of least resistance...
