/**
 * RFC 6570 URI Template parsing and expansion, shared by every client (#1919).
 *
 * This lives in `core/` rather than in a client so the web Resources form and
 * the TUI cannot disagree about what a template means. Both derive their form
 * fields from {@link templateVariables} and expand through
 * {@link expandUriTemplate} — the web panel directly, the TUI via
 * `InspectorClient.readResourceFromTemplate`.
 *
 * The **CLI is deliberately not a consumer**: it has no template form, and its
 * `resources/read` passes the already-expanded `--uri` straight to
 * `readResource` (see `clients/cli/src/handlers/run-method.ts`). Nothing here
 * runs for it.
 *
 * ## Why this is not simply `new UriTemplate(t).expand(v)`
 *
 * The SDK's `UriTemplate` is still used, but only to *validate* a template —
 * constructing it is what rejects an unclosed expression. Its expander is not,
 * because it is incomplete in ways a form makes visible: a form has to *name*
 * the variables it asks the user to fill in, so a parser that mangles a name
 * produces a field nobody can use. Each of these was measured against the
 * pinned SDK, not inferred:
 *
 * | Shape            | SDK behavior                                              |
 * | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
 * | `{a,b}`          | raw-joins the values — no encoding, operator prefix dropped |
 * | `{;id}`          | `;` is not in its operator list, so the variable is `;id`  |
 * | `{id:3}`         | the prefix modifier is folded into the name, giving `id:3` |
 * | `{+v}` / `{#v}`  | `encodeURI` mangles reserved `[`/`]` and double-encodes `%` |
 * | `{v}`            | `encodeURIComponent` leaves the sub-delims `!'()*` bare     |
 *
 * An earlier revision delegated the shapes the SDK got right and took over only
 * the rest. That split is gone: once the encoders themselves differed, the two
 * paths would have encoded the *same value* differently depending on whether
 * the expression happened to carry a modifier. One expander, one set of rules.

 * value into the *middle* of the URI, so omitting one leaves an empty path
 * segment rather than a shorter URI: measured against the pinned SDK,
 * `file:///users/{userId}/profile` expands to `file:///users//profile` and
 * `x://a/{+path}` to `x://a/`, both of which name a different resource. Those
 * are the ones a form must require before allowing a read.
