Description
Usual pattern is to return nil, error
But the API now only returns one pointer
Contributor guide
Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating NewModule and its callers, then inspect how module-creation failures are currently represented. Done means the API exposes an error alongside the pointer and its callers handle the failure path consistently.
