What happened, and what did you expect?

A client URL built as a template literal starting with a substitution, which is the
common "base URL from config/constant" pattern, produces no HTTP_CALLS edge:

const PAYMENTS_URL = "http://payments:8080";
export async function createPayment(body: unknown) {
  return fetch(`${PAYMENTS_URL}/v1/payments`, { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify(body) });
}

The same call written as fetch("http://payments:8080/v1/payments", ...) produces
HTTP_CALLS and links via cross-repo-intelligence (cross_http_calls: 1) to a Go server
with http.HandleFunc("/v1/payments", h). The template version gives cross_http_calls: 0.

Expected: an HTTP_CALLS edge for path /v1/payments. Ideally the constant is resolved
(the same-file const is a literal). At minimum, the leading substitution should be
treated as an unknown host and the literal path kept.

Reproduction

1. Code: the snippet above in client.ts, in its own git repo.
2. Commands:

codebase-memory-mcp cli index_repository '{"repo_path":"/path/to/client"}'
codebase-memory-mcp cli get_graph_schema '{"project":"<client>"}'

3. Output: there is no HTTP_CALLS edge type. With the literal URL there is
   HTTP_CALLS 1.

Attached repro.sh, section "Issue 4".

Suspected cause (from reading the source at 96c3f41)

cbm_template_string_text() (internal/cbm/helpers.c:1812, #1006) replaces every
${...} with {}, so the URL becomes "{}/v1/payments". The client-URL gate then
requires u[0] == '/' || strstr(u, "://"), for example in src/pipeline/pass_calls.c
near line 778, and rejects it. The #1006 tests cover a literal leading path
(`/api/v1/things/${id}`) but not a leading substitution. Resolving identifier
substitutions through the existing string-constant lookup, or accepting a leading {}
followed by / as "unknown host + path", would cover it.
