Research direction

Start in cyclonedds/idl/_builder.py at line 324 and inspect how the Python IDL builder assigns the union type's keyless default. Compare that behavior with the issue's stated C/C++ behavior; done means Python unions use the intended no-key default and the behavior is covered by the relevant existing tests, if present.
