Ansible-libssh unable to use “become”

Hello, im using ansible-libssh (changed from paramiko) and now playbooks that worked with paramiko have different behavior with ansible-libssh.

using:

ansible==10.2.0
ansible-core==2.17.2
ansible-pylibssh==1.2.2
ansible.netcommon      6.1.3

playbook:

  - name: Set a hostname
    become: yes
    hostname:
     name: test-host
     use: systemd

im getting this debug:

    "module_stderr": "",
    "module_stdout": "",
    "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",
    "rc": -1
}

Now if i use this command that libssh user like that:

ssh root@10.0.0.1 'sudo -H -S -p "[sudo via ansible, key=oztusclwkalryowlokcecuiznderdetw] password:" -u root /bin/sh -c '"'"'echo BECOME-SUCCESS-oztusclwkalryowlokcecuiznderdetw ; /usr/bin/python3.8 /home/user/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1723027001.008096-21354-99267291740428/AnsiballZ_hostname.py'"'"' && sleep 0'

It will pop a request for password so im guessing it is waiting for interactive pass? Also, I tried to use become with user “user” instead of root and it worked but changing hostname is require to use root. If i use a simple play like this:

- name: "test play"
  become: yes
  shell: “ls -l”

It will work with inventory entry: ansible_become_user=user but if its user root (as it usually should be) it doesn't work.
