Nested interpolation lost when mixed inside string context

[aniongithub]

Summary When using Himl’s (himl==0.15.2 from pip) nested interpolation ({{foo.bar}}) inside a longer string, the interpolation silences the surrounding text and resolves only to the raw value. But when using the same interpolation alone, it works correctly.

---

Steps to reproduce

1. Create foo.yaml:

   foo:
     bar: 42
   

2. Create baz.yaml:

   resources:
     test:
       type: example:Test
       properties:
         path: "hello {{foo.bar}} world"
   

3. Run:

   himl-config-merger foo.yaml baz.yaml > merged.yaml
   

4. Expected in merged.yaml:

   resources:
     test:
       properties:
         path: "hello 42 world"
   

5. Actual result:

   resources:
     test:
       properties:
         path: 42
   

   — The string collapses to just 42.

6. Alternative case that does work:

   path: "{{foo.bar}}"
   

   → Correctly interpolates to:

   path: 42
   

Any help would be much appreciated!

It appears the bug is here

If the value to interpolate is anything other than a string, it simply returns the value itself instead of doing line.replace
