Research direction

Start with the Code Connect example processing and snippet assignment path; the issue does not name files or tests. Compare the two examples, which differ by a template string containing backticks, and trace why the first passes dry-run validation but fails to load. Done means the backtick example loads successfully and produces the expected snippet.

Description

feature request
figma.connect(Autocomplete, "<FIGMA_BACKTICK_TEST>", {

  },
  example: ({ label }) => <Chip label={label.label} otherProp={(value)=>(`${value.length}`)} />,
});
