Loading a module with Project.toml containing the name field but no uuid

I think it gets assigned a “dummy UUID” based on the project path:

JuliaLang/julia/blob/7b10d5fe0159e21e8299681c33605f0b10dbdcfa/base/loading.jl#L593-L599


      
          function project_file_name_uuid(project_file::String, name::String)::PkgId
              d = parsed_toml(project_file)
              uuid′ = get(d, "uuid", nothing)::Union{String, Nothing}
              uuid = uuid′ === nothing ? dummy_uuid(project_file) : UUID(uuid′)
              name = get(d, "name", name)::String
              return PkgId(uuid, name)
          end
