Description

Currently, the URL Template hooks introduced in #241 use a simple string replace to resolve a template. Going forward, we should make this into a separate crate and add some additional functionality, such as escaping the brace characters.

We likely don't need a fully-fledged templating engine, since we are only dealing with URLs, but having the logic in a separate crate will make it easier to iterate on the behavior.

Research direction
Examine the existing URL template hook implementation in the Volta repository (likely in src/ or a related module). Review PR #241 to understand the current string replace approach. Then design a separate crate with a simple template resolver that supports brace escaping. Look at other crates in the workspace for structure and conventions. Implement basic templating functions and ensure backward compatibility.
