Have you considered reversing the order ?
That will be much easier to setup and more secure since the log generating machine will not be able to connect @ all to desk_pc.
While desk_pc will be able ssh to log machine and execute specific command/script only (as per key setup).

I've been experimenting with pseudo-terminals and found something I don't quite understand. Writing an EOF character to the master end doesn't work quite as I expect.

systemd-machine-id-setup
SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID(1) systemd-machine-id-setup SYSTEMD-MACHINE-ID(1)
NAME
systemd-machine-id-setup - Initialize the machine ID in /etc/machine-id
SYNOPSIS
systemd-machine-id-setup
DESCRIPTION
systemd-machine-id-setup may be used by system installer tools to initialize the machine ID stored in /etc/machine-id at install time with
a randomly generated ID. See machine-id(5) for more information about this file.
This tool will execute no operation if /etc/machine-id is already initialized.
If a valid D-Bus machine ID is already configured for the system the D-Bus machine ID is copied and used to initialize the machine ID in
/etc/machine-id.
If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID is passed via the -uuid option this UUID is used to initialize the machine ID instead of a
randomly generated one. The caller must ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique and is different for every booted instanced of
the VM.
Similar, if run inside a Linux container environment and a UUID is set for the container this is used to initialize the machine ID. For
details see the documentation of the Container Interface[1].
OPTIONS
This tool does not take any options or arguments.
EXIT STATUS
On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
