What
Wildcard URL patterns are now parsed by a dedicated helper instead of ad-hoc string handling, used to decide which URL component a template variable expands into.
Details
the helper substitutes a sentinel for *, parses the result as a URL, and retries with a placeholder port when the wildcard sits in the port position
it returns the URL components with the sentinel mapped back to *
callers use it to classify an expansion as scheme, authority, or the rest, for MCP-style URL templates
the security consequence of the change could not be fully established
Evidence
pathname
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
