Research direction
Start by locating the Ruby code that currently looks up default variable values in Puppet code, then trace how Hiera/Data in Modules is handled. Define the expected lookup behavior and identify relevant extraction tests before changing the implementation. Done means puppet-strings can expose the default value for data in modules.
