Subject: [PATCH] Noticket: Added workaround to development process for outdated Molecule version:

- Unfortunately, the Molecule version used for running tests does not
  generate valid Ruby 3.x code. For now just work around the way Hash
  is unpacked in function calls to optional arguments (until the test
  stack gets a revamp).
