They must be super worried there is more damage in the module. I doubt a coolant hose would stop a high speed meteorite.

Given the recent issues with Roscosmos, it could've just as easily been poor quality control as a meteor.

That’s the real follow on question. Even with a camera inspection, or a spacewalk, they’ll only have an idea of how far a meteorite went based upon testing something beyond that.

Assuming it was a meteorite, and assuming they can safely test, and if you’re not willing to try start up or up to a point, the first time shouldn’t be with people. Not with other alternatives.
