    Research direction

    Start by reviewing the attached Modules.zip and the linked PR gh-113447, then compare the reported module-name behavior on macOS with the issue's original context. Done means resolving the failure to find modules whose names contain decomposable characters, with macOS behavior covered by the linked work or its validation.
