Specmatic stub is generating incorrect response for JSON string value in http-response body

Description
For a given HTTP-POST request, I am trying to stub the JSON response in which one of the property is having stringify / JSON-string value. Also, I have added the schema as type: string in the yaml contract. But the stubbed response I am getting back is a parsed JSON object instead of a JSON-string.

Stubbed JSON response-body:

Steps to reproduce
See above.

Expected behavior
Stubbed response should return the value in json-string or stringify json format.

Screenshots
Actual incorrect response from the stub. Here, expected value of Data property is json-string, but we are getting parsed json-object.
