interpolateEnvVars
Interpolate ${VAR|default} environment-variable references in a raw string.
Unlike substituteVars(), this method does not apply
type coercion — the result is always a string. Missing env vars with no
default resolve to an empty string.
This is a TS-specific helper (no Python SDK equivalent). Use it when building URLs, log messages, or any string output where numeric/boolean coercion would corrupt the value.
Parameters
input
The string containing ${VAR} or ${VAR|default} references.
Returns
string — the input with all env var references resolved.
